How to use pyrolytic cleaning

The pyrolytic self-cleaning function makes scrubbing the oven a thing of the past. With the touch of a button, you can reduce the food deposits and grease inside your oven to ash that can be simply wiped away with a damp cloth. While you relax, or plan your next recipe, your Bosch oven does the hard work, setting the temperature to a blistering 485°C. It is important to note that this function is not intended for regular use, but rather a deep clean carried out every 6 to 12 months.

Step by step guide

  • Remove everything inside the oven, close the oven door and select the pyrolytic cleaning function.
  • During pyrolytic cleaning, the internal temperature of the oven will reach 485°C.
  • The glass door of the oven might be hot to touch. Do not touch it during pyrolytic cleaning.
  • Once the pyrolytic cleaning is completed, you can wipe away any remaining residue inside the oven with a damp cloth.
