Techniques: What is a Pyrolytic Oven & How Does It Work?

NEFF Slide&Hide® Ovens with Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning take away the hassle and worry of having to manually scrub your oven clean using harsh detergents. With the simple press of a button, you can have a gleaming oven cavity in just over 1 hour.

Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning is easy to use and requires minimal effort. Simply choose your preferred cleaning programme, and the oven's temperature will rise to up to 485 degrees, turning any baking, roasting or grilling residue into a small pile of ash for you to simply wipe away.

All of our Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning ovens come with EasyClean®, an efficient cleaning aid which is ideal for when a full Pyrolytic cycle isn’t required, for example lightly soiled ovens.

There are also three cleaning programmes to choose from depending on the intensity of cleaning you require:

• Light residue: approximately 1 hour 15 minutes

• Medium residue: approximately 1 hour 30 minutes

• Intensive cleaning: approximately 2 hours

The Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning function reaches high temperatures in order to complete the oven clean thoroughly, however it is completely safe thanks the following safety measures put in place:

• All NEFF Pyrolytic Oven doors have four panes of glass to ensure the surface temperatures are maintained within acceptable standards
• The cooling fan is boosted during the cleaning process to ensure adjacent furniture is not damaged
• The oven door locks once the internal temperature goes over 300°C and cannot be opened until the programme is complete and residual heat has dropped to manageable a level

Our unique Slide&Hide® Oven is the ideal choice for space saving kitchens with big ideas. As the name suggests, the innovative oven door slides and hides to fit smoothly under the cavity, allowing you closer accessibility to your cooking.

Alongside Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning, there are a host of features and functions available, there's a Slide&Hide® Oven for every Cookaholic.
