Cleaning and maintenance
You should carefully read this chapter before you use your appliance the first
time. If cleaned correctly and looked after regularly the appliance will remain
beautiful and clean for many years. The following tips will help you to clean
and care for your oven’s various surfaces gently but thoroughly.
For all surfaces
[
Do not, under any circumstances, use steam or pressure cleaning
machines to clean the appliance! Damage caused to your appliance by
cleaning it this way can make it
lethally dangerous
.
[
Risk of burning!
Make sure the appliance has cooled down before
cleaning.
[
Please follow the instructions provided with the cleaning agents you plan
to use.
Clean the oven each time you use it. Dirt left will burn into the surface next
time you use it. These burned on residues can sometimes be impossible to
remove completely.
To clean an oven that is not very dirty, use a damp cloth, a soft brush or a
soft sponge and a weak solution of detergent and warm water. Always rinse
the surfaces with cold water to remove all traces of detergent. Detergent
residues can cause discoloration and blotches. Wipe dry afterwards.

oxygen, chlorine or corrosive components.
- abrasive cleaning or scouring agents, such as steel wool, soap-impregnated
steel wool, stiff brushes, metal or plastic sponges or any similar cleaners
with an abrasive surface.
Removing fat and grease deposits
First, soak any heavy deposits to loosen them. A wet cloth is ideal. This will
make them easier to remove later.
Information about the cleaning scraper

Caution! Risk of cutting! The blade of the cleaning scraper is very sharp!
Always hold the cleaning scraper flat to the surface
and push the grease away from you.

Do not scratch the surface with the edge of
the scraper and take care not to damage the
sealing with the edge.
Suggestions on the use of oven sprays

Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Oven sprays attack aluminium, paint and plastic!

Do not spray into the fan at the rear of the oven! The ökotherm

For environmental reasons you should not use oven spray at all. If you
nevertheless want to use it, only spray it in the oven interior and on enamel
baking trays.

Some plastic sponges with abrasive side can be used. Some products do
however contain grains in the abrasive side of the sponge which can cause

stainless steel cleaner. This will create a protective film that protects the
surfaces from discoloration.
