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.
The rear and side walls are covered with catalytic panelling.
Never clean these surfaces with oven cleaner. Slight
discolouration of the enamel does not affect self-cleaning.

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 traces 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
Glass cleaner:
Clean with a soft cloth.
Gas hob and pan
supports
Hot soapy water.
Use very little water. Water must not be
allowed to enter the appliance through
the base of the burners.
Clean boiled over liquids and spilt food
immediately.
You can remove the pan supports. Do
not clean the pan supports in the dish-
washer.
Gas burners, hot-
plate
Remove the burner cups and caps, clean
them with soapy water.
The gas outlet openings must remain
free from obstruction.
Ignition plugs: small, soft brush.
The gas burners only work properly
when the ignition plugs are clean. Dry all
parts thoroughly. Ensure they are refitted
correctly.
The burner caps are coated in black
enamel. The colour may change over
time. This does not affect their operation.
Do not clean the burner caps in the dish-
washer.
Enamel surfaces
(smooth surfaces)
To facilitate cleaning, you can switch on
the interior lighting and detach the appli-
ance door if necessary. Apply ordinary
washing-up liquid or a vinegar solution
with a soft, damp cloth or chamois
leather; dry with a soft cloth. Loosen
baked-on food residues with a damp
cloth and detergent. We recommend
using oven-cleaning gel for heavy depos-
its of dirt. This can be applied to the
affected area. Leave the cooking com-
partment open after cleaning to allow it
to dry.
