Pyrolytic Ovens FAQ

  • A pyrolytic self-cleaning oven uses high heat to break down food remnants, simplifying maintenance and eliminating the need for scrubbing. This advanced cleaning system turns baked-on residue into ash, which can be wiped away effortlessly. Just activate the pyrolytic function and let your oven handle the hard work — giving you more time for what matters.

  • With pyrolytic, you start a special cleaning program; the door locks, the oven becomes extremely hot (up to about 500 degrees), and all the dirt burns into a thin layer of ash that you can remove with a cloth after cooling.

  • We recommend using pyrolytic cleaning only when the oven is clearly dirty, for example every few months or after intensive use, to save energy.

  • Our pyrolytic ovens have a locked door and extra insulation, which keeps the door relatively cool and makes the process safe as long as you follow the instructions and keep children away during cleaning.

  • Inside the oven, the temperature rises to about 450–500 degrees, while the outside of the oven door remains around 50–60 degrees.  

  • A pyrolytic program usually takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the model, the selected program and the level of soiling.

  •   Yes, with AEG ovens, the racks, baking trays, and accessories must be removed during pyrolytic cleaning. The side rails should also be removed.  

  • Pyrolytic self-cleaning uses significantly more energy than normal baking (often around 3–5 kWh or more per cycle), so it is wise to use the function sparingly and preferably combine it with residual heat after baking.

  • During pyrolytic cleaning, a (slight) burnt smell may occur as grease and food residue burns away. Ensure adequate ventilation in the kitchen.

  • After pyrolytic cleaning, simply remove the layer of ash and any loose residue with a damp cloth.


  • A pyrolytic oven burns all the dirt to ash in one intensive cycle, while catalytic walls absorb grease during normal baking but clean less thoroughly, meaning you have to clean manually more often

  • Remove the racks and baking trays, the side rails, remove loose food scraps, check the area for flammable materials, and ensure adequate ventilation in the kitchen.

  • Pyrolytic ovens are generally more expensive to purchase than comparable conventional ovens, but offer convenience and lower cleaning product costs.
