Care and cleaning
In this section, you will find information on
■
the care and cleaning of your appliance
■
Descaling
:
Risk of short circuit!
Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners to
clean your appliance.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: Do not use
■
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■
oven cleaners
■
corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those containing
chlorine
■
cleaning agents with a high alcohol content
If such an agent comes into contact with the front of the
appliance, wash it off immediately with water.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: If descaler comes into contact with the
front of the appliance or any other sensitive surfaces, wash it off
immediately with water.
Remove food residues from the cooking compartment as soon
as the appliance has cooled.
Salts are very corrosive and can cause rust. Remove remains
of acidic sauces (ketchup, mustard) or salted food from the
cooking compartment immediately after cooling.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning sponge
The enclosed cleaning sponge is very absorbent. Use the
cleaning sponge only for cleaning the cooking compartment
and for removing residual water from the evaporator dish.
Wash the cleaning sponge thoroughly before using for the first
time. You can wash the cleaning sponge in the washing
machine (hot wash).
Microfibre cloth
The honeycomb microfibre cloth is particularly suitable for
cleaning sensitive surfaces such as glass, glass ceramic,
stainless steel or aluminium (product no. 460 770, also
available from our online eShop). It removes liquid and greasy
deposits in one go.
Descaling
The appliance must be descaled at regular intervals in order for
it to continue operating correctly. The Í indicator reminds you
to do this.
You can only dispense with descaling completely if you
exclusively use softened water.
Appliance exterior (stainless steel front) Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Always remove any flecks of limescale,
grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately
Special stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained from customer service or from
specialist retailers
Cooking compartment interior with evapo-
rator dish
Hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
Use the enclosed cleaning sponge or a soft washing-up brush.
Caution!
■
Damage to the appliance: The water flows through a hose via the cooking compart-
ment floor into the evaporator dish. When cleaning, ensure that you do not exert any
pressure on the water inlet or catch it on something behind it. The hose could be
squeezed out of the cooking compartment. In this case, you must call customer ser-
vice. Do not use the appliance.
■
The cooking compartment may rust: Do not use steel pads or scourers
Water tank Soapy water. Do not clean in the dishwasher.
You can carefully remove the lid of the water tank for cleaning
Regularly check the rubber seal on the valve and lightly regrease the seal with the
enclosed lubricant, if necessary.
Water tank recess Rub dry after every use
Door seal Hot soapy water
Door panels Glass cleaner
Caution!
Surface damage: After cleaning, wipe the door panels with glass cleaner, then dry. Oth-
erwise, stains will appear that you will not be able to remove.
Inside of the door (plastic cover) Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Always remove any flecks of limescale,
grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately
Accessories Soak in hot soapy water. Clean with a washing-up brush or sponge or in the dish-
washer
Clean stains caused by starchy food (e.g. rice) with a vinegar solution
