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.
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,
■
cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
■
hard scouring pads or sponges,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall, ceiling and side walls of the cooking
compartment are 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.
Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with oven cleaner.
If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean sufficiently, they
can be regenerated with the cleaning system. For more
information, please see the Cleaning system section.
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.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor
Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
If there are heavy deposits of dirt, use a stainless steel scouring
pad or oven cleaner. Only use when the cooking compartment
is cold. Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with a scouring
pad or oven cleaner.
Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have
cooled down.
Detaching the rails
1.
Lift up the front of the rail
2.
and unhook it (figure A).
3.
Then pull the whole rail forward
4.
and remove it (Fig. B).
