  • Surely a pyrolytic cleaning cycle releases shitloads of fine particulates into your house? Or do ovens have special particulate filters to prevent this?

  • Some pyro ovens have a catalytic converter in the cavity vent to clean the emissions before they enter the cooling duct and are expelled into the kitchen.

    Some manufacturers (e.g Miele) have a very specific Pyro process which has low enough emissions to be able to pass compliance, which means they don't have a filter.

    There are stringent guidelines about pyrolytic products from a safety and compliance testing point of view to be able to be sold - we refer to it as a "canary test" at work.

    You'll also find that the user guide for some products insist on you running a pyro with a window open etc

  • Thanks, very helpful post.

    How would I go about checking which type of filter/catalyst my Bosch oven employs? I’ve been too terrified of using the pyro feature thus far…
