How to clean your AEG oven with pyrolytic function

General notes on pyrolytic self-cleaning function:

• Pyrolysis is a self-cleaning function of your oven at a temperature of approx. 500°C.
• The pyrolysis self-cleaning function turns baked-on food residue inside your oven turns to ash, allowing you to easily wipe the residue with a damp cloth.
• During pyrolysis, the door is locked because of the high temperatures.
• You can choose between three different programs, each program varies in length depending on the type of soiling and oven.

The PYR symbol will appear based on the following factors:

• The oven's operating time.
• The most recently used oven functions and the selected setting temperature.
• The actual degree of soiling is not a factor.

Before you start the pyrolysis self-cleaning function:

• Be sure to read the instructions for pyrolysis in your user manual.
• Remove all suspension grilles and accessories from the unit (see the instructional video below for details).
• Do not place any other objects, such as pans, pots or anything else in the oven.
• Remove all major dirt, oil and grease deposits.
• Clean the inside of the door with hot water to prevent the hot air from getting stuck.

Important:

• Do not start the pyrolysis until the door is fully closed.
• Ensure good ventilation during and after the pyrolysis. Animals (especially birds) should be in a well-ventilated area during this time. Some birds and reptiles can react very sensitively to fumes. Small animals also react during the pyrolysis to the local temperature fluctuations.
• In our ovens, the fumes emanating from the pyrolysis are safe for people, including children and people with health problems.
