How to Use Pyrolytic & EasyClean

Once you have cleaned the oven door, it's time to clean the inside of your NEFF Slide&Hide oven. Luckily there are a variety of self cleaning features that will make your life much easier!

If you're fed up of having to constantly scrub away at stubborn stains, you'll love the Pyrolytic and EasyClean features.

Pyrolytic Cleaning

If you're prone to be a messy home cook, Pyrolytic cleaning will take the hassle out of your oven maintenance. No more harsh chemicals needed!

Instead of spending hours scrubbing away at grime, this function turns all food deposits and grease to ash by heating the cavity to and extremely hot 485°C.

1. Firstly remove all wire shelves, baking trays, rails, shelf guides and water tank if you have one.
2. Give the empty oven cavity a quick wipe with a damp cloth to remove any light food residues.
3. Turn on the oven and select the Pyrolytic cleaning function and choose the level of cleaning desired.
   • Light residue: around 1 hour 15 minutes.
   • Medium residue: around 1 hours 30 minutes.
   • Heavy residue: around 2 hours.
4. The door will lock whilst the oven heats up and whilst it cools down once the cleaning process finishes.
5. Open the door and wipe away any ash with a damp cloth.
6. Reassemble all your oven accessories.

Please note: this cleaning method is not for regular use and should only be used for a deep-clean every 6-12 months.

EasyClean Function

For regular or quick cleaning that is environmentally friendly, we recommend you use the EasyClean function.

This self-cleaning method is perfect for lightly soiled ovens and uses a water and liquid soap mixture to loosen up food residues.

2. Remove all baking trays, wire shelves, rails and shelf guides (you can keep the water tank inside).
3. Mix together a couple drops of dish soap and 400ml of water.
4. Pour the mixture into the bottom of the oven.
