Care and cleaning
With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain
its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We
will explain here how you should care for and clean them
correctly.
Notes
■
Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Cleaning agents
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
When cleaning the hob do not use
■
undiluted washing-up liquid or dishwasher detergent,
■
scouring pads,
■
abrasive cleaning agents such as oven cleaner or stain
remover,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
■
Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
When cleaning the oven do not use
■
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,
■
scouring pads,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
■
Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
Wash new sponges thoroughly before first use.
Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall in the cooking compartment is coated with a
highly porous ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and
disintegrates splashes from baking and roasting while the oven
is in operation. The higher the temperature and the longer the
oven is in operation, the better the result will be.
If splashes are still visible even after repeated use, proceed as
follows:
1. Clean the floor, ceiling and side panels of the cooking
compartment thoroughly.
2. Set : 3D hot air.
3. With the door closed, heat up the empty oven for
approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.
The ceramic coating is regenerated. When the cooking
compartment has cooled down, remove the brown or white
residue with water and a soft sponge.
Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic
self-cleaning.
Caution!
■
Never use abrasive cleaning agents. You will scratch or
destroy the highly porous coating.
■
Never treat the ceramic coating with oven cleaner. If oven
cleaner accidentally gets onto it, remove it immediately with a
sponge and plenty of water.
