Care and cleaning
With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and
fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain
how to maintain and clean your oven 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 their function. 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.
:
Risk of electric shock!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
which can result in an electric shock.
:
Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior
surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements.
Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a
safe distance.
Cleaning agents
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
Do not use
■
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■
cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol
■
hard scouring pads and sponges
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Catalytic cooking compartment panels
The catalytic cooking compartment panels are coated with self-
cleaning enamel.
The surfaces clean themselves while the oven is in operation.
Larger splashes will only be removed after the oven has been
used several times.
Self-cleaning surfaces
The side walls are covered with catalytic panelling. Never clean
these surfaces with oven cleaner. Slight discolouration of the
enamel does not affect automatic self-cleaning.
Removing the ceiling panel
For ease of cleaning, you can remove the ceiling panel.

Appliance exterior Hot soapy water:
Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners or
glass scrapers.
Stainless steel Hot soapy water:
Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a
soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale,
grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg
white) immediately. Corrosion can form
under such residues.
Special stainless steel cleaning prod-
ucts suitable for hot surfaces are availa-
ble from our after-sales service or from
specialist retailers. Apply a very thin layer
of the cleaning product with a soft cloth.
Aluminium and
plastic

Enamel surfaces
(smooth surfaces)
To facilitate cleaning, you can switch on
the interior lighting and detach the appli-
ance door if necessary. Apply commer-
cially available washing-up liquid or a
vinegar solution with a soft, damp cloth
or chamois; dry with a soft cloth. Loosen
baked-on food residues with a damp
cloth and detergent. We recommend
using oven cleaning gel if the oven is
very dirty. This can be applied to the
affected area. Leave the cooking com-
partment open after cleaning to allow it
to dry.

faces)
