Setting the self-cleaning
1.
Press the q button.
2.
Start the cleaning operation with n .
The oven door locks shortly after starting. The H symbol
lights up to indicate that the lock has been activated.
Once cleaning has finished
The oven stops heating. The cleaning time is shown in the
status bar as 00:00:00. You will not be able to open the oven
door until the
H
symbol goes out.
Cancelling cleaning
Switch off the oven with % . The oven door remains locked
while the H symbol is lit.
Setting cleaning to run overnight
So that you can use your oven throughout the day, delay the
end of the cleaning process to during the night. See the Time-
setting options section, setting a later end time.
After self-cleaning
Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, wipe out the
ash that has been left behind in the cooking compartment with
a damp cloth.
Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain
its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
:
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.
Notes
■
Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance 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.
■
Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be
removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup
of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at
maximum microwave power.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use
■
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance
door,
■
metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■
hard scouring pads and sponges,
■
cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
