The fan will come on when the oven reaches a certain temperature and may continue for a few minutes after the oven has been switched off. During the pyro-clean cycle the fan runs faster than during normal cooking functions.

Prevents food from coming into direct contact with the grill. Nevertheless, you are advised not to touch the safety guard whilst the oven is on.

An automatic "door lock" mechanism activates during pyrocleaning and the " " indicator lamp lights up on the display. The oven door will heat up during pyro-cleaning hence children must be kept well clear of the appliance.

Opening the oven door when the oven is off, the internal light will come on.
