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.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor, ceiling and side
walls
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.
Stainless steel
fronts
Wipe with some washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. Always wipe parallel to the natural grain. Otherwise,
you may scratch the surface. Dry with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin
(e.g. egg white) immediately. Do not use any abrasive materials, scouring sponges or rough cleaning
cloths. The stainless steel fronts can be polished using a special care product. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions. You can purchase special stainless steel cleaner from our after-sales service or from specialist
retailers.
Enamel surfaces and
lacquered surfaces
Clean with some washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.

Burners and steel
grid of the gas burn-
ers
Do not clean in the dishwasher. Remove the steel grids and clean them with a sponge and some hot water
and washing-up liquid.
Remove the burner cup and cover. Clean with a sponge and some hot water and washing-up liquid. Ensure
that the gas openings in the burner cup are clean and free of any particles of dirt.
Clean the igniters with a small, soft brush. The gas burners only work properly when the igniters are clean.
Remove food residue from the burner shells with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Only use a little
water. Water must not be allowed to enter the appliance. Ensure that the nozzle openings do not become
blocked or damaged during cleaning.
Dry all parts after cleaning and place the burner cover accurately on the burner cup. Individual parts which
are not seated correctly can prevent the burner from igniting.
The burner cap is coated in black enamel. Due to the high temperatures, discolouration may occur. This
does not impair the operation of the burners.
Put the steel grid back in place.
