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.

The following pointers will help you to carry out a more thorough cleaning
of the various parts of your oven.

VSR O-FIX-C is perfect for the cleaning of glass ceramic, enamel and the
coated inside of the door. This cleaning powder is available from
KÜPPERSBUSCH Customer service.
Do not use any
- aggressive or bleach-based cleaning agents that contain active oxygen,
chlorine or other caustic substances;
- 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
®
catalyst
will be destroyed if oven spray is used.
For environmental reasons you should not use oven spray at all. If you do use
it, spray only the inside of the oven and the enamel baking trays.
Enamel
Oven interior, front, baking trays, drip pan
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
scratches.
Carefully test a small area that is out of sight.
F
The type of scraper normally used for glass-ceramic surfaces is suitable
for removing heavy dirt.
F
To thoroughly clean your appliance, we recommend you use VSR O-FIX-C.
Oven spray may also be used.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel door front, control panel, telescopic glide-out shelves
(acc. No. 601), backmobil (acc. No. 600A)
[
Stainless steel is very easy to scratch!
Do not use a scraper!
[
Remove any calcium, grease or starch deposits right away. They will stain
the surface!
We recommend that you use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner once a week.
This will create a protective film that protects the surfaces from discoloration.
Glass
Door interior – coated glass
[
Avoid using oven spray if you can. If used regularly, an oven spray will
attack the coated surface of the glass.
The type of scraper normally used for glass-ceramic surfaces is suitable for
removing heavy dirt.

Clean the
oven front
with a weak solution of detergent and warm water,
using a damp cloth or a soft sponge. Do not use a glass cleaner.
Glass ceramic hob

Sugar and food containing sugar (e. g. marmalade) and melted plastic
must immediately be removed with the cleaning scraper from the hot
cooking surface otherwise the surface can be destroyed when cooling
down.
First remove heavy dirt and food residues with the cleaning scraper when the
cooking surface is still warm.
Clean the cooled down cooking surface with water and a small amount of
detergent, with a cleaning agent for glass ceramic surfaces or with VSR O-FIX-C.
Wipe off the surface with clear water then dry it thoroughly.
F
Residues of cleaning agents can cause discolouring the next time you
switch it on. Cloths and sponges which are used for the cleaning of other
surfaces can cause discolouring.
F
Cleaning the glass ceramic surfaces with a cleaning agent protects them
of discolouring, and reduces the danger of damage through sugar and
often can remove discolouring or stains.
