Hydrolysis oven cleaning: what it is, how it works and 4 advantages

The vapor generated by the evaporation of a liquid in a special container, settles on the surface and allows fat molecules to lag behind enamel.

Purification occurs by heating to extreme temperatures - up to +500 ° C, as a result of which the leftover food literally turns into ashes, which is easy to clean.

Based on the decomposition reaction of fat molecules in contact with the inner surface of the oven.

Special catalytic panels have a special coating that “repels” pollution, simplifying the cleaning process.

The steam treatment function is usually called AquaClean (there is AquaSmart technology) and is accompanied by a corresponding icon.

• It is necessary to remove all internal removable elements (grates, baking sheet, removable fasteners, etc.);
• Then select the appropriate program on the control panel;
• If there is a choice of temperature and time, then adjust these parameters. (Recommended parameters: 90 ° C and 30 minutes of cycle).

Directly, the cleaning itself takes place by evaporation of the liquid, which must first be poured:

• The required amount of water is poured into a special recess at the bottom of the cabinet or in a special container. In case of light pollution, you can do with plain water, and for high-quality cleansing it is advisable to use a solution with a cleaning agent.
• In low-cost models, the capacity or recess may not be provided, then simply pour water into a small heat-resistant container and put it on the grid (but not on the lower level).
• Close the door and start the process.

When the technician finishes the cleaning process, it is necessary to open the door so that the inner surface is slightly cooled.

And after that you can proceed to the removal of softened fat and dirt.

The presence of such a useful system does not affect the cost of technology.

The function of hydrolysis is present in premium kitchen cabinets, as well as in ovens with a quite affordable price.

Hydrolysis can hardly be called self-purification from pollution, since after that it will still have to work with your own hands and remove malleable fat from the walls with a cloth or sponge.

The time costs are minimal (15–40 minutes), especially when compared with pyrolytic cleaning, which can reach three hours.

Time, in this case, is equivalent to energy: electricity and gas are consumed normally.

Additional items are washed by hand. Grates and baking tray can not be cleaned in this way.

For light contamination, a single steam treatment is sufficient, and more persistent traces of fat can be eliminated with the addition of a cleaning agent. The process is clear even to those who are far from technology.

Such a cleaning system is not able to remove old burned fat in one cycle.

You have to either cope with the problem in several cycles, or delete it manually.

+ 50... +90 ° C is not so high temperature, which can somehow affect the wear of the inner surface of the cabinet, and it is unlikely that it will seriously get burned if you accidentally touch the door.
