How to Clean your Pyrolytic Oven

Some of the ovens in our built-in range are self-cleaning, coming with our pyrolytic function. This helpful technology helps you spend less time scrubbing your oven clean. At the touch of a button, the pyrolytic self-cleaning function heats the oven up to a super-hot 480°C, turning dirt to dust, so that all that’s left to do is wipe the dirt away with a cloth. From time to time, you will need to clean your pyrolytic oven, so we’ve put together this handy how-to guide to show you how to clean it.

General Cleaning Tips

It’s good to get into the habit of using your built-in oven’s pyrolytic self-cleaning function every 10th time you use your oven. Sometimes it depends how dirty your oven is and how long you want your oven to clean itself for, so you may find that you’ll need to use the self-cleaning function more often or less often than every 10th usage. On some of our pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens, you have the option of the 120-minute cycle or an Eco cycle that runs for 90 minutes, all depending on how dirty you think your oven is. Here are a few general oven-cleaning tips you should know about before you get started:

  2. If you’ve recently used your oven, make sure you allow enough time for it to cool down before cleaning
  3. Remove all the oven accessories, like the trays and if your oven has them, the side racks
