It also features intelligent 6th Sense technology which takesw the stress out of cooking!

Simply set the cleaning function and let the oven clean itself! The pyrolytic function will burn away food debris inside the oven and turn it into a fine ash, which can then be wiped away with ease.
Baby-friendly dishwashers
