Cleaning and care
58
Danger of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the heat-
ing elements, oven compartment or
accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment and the accessories to
cool before manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for clean-
ing.
Surfaces can discolour or alter if un-
suitable cleaning agents are used.
The oven front is particularly sus-
ceptible to damage from oven clean-
ers or descaling agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can in
some circumstances lead to break-
age.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not
use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents on the front
– abrasive cleaning agents (e.g.
powder cleaners, scouring milk,
scouring pads)
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– stainless-steel cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaner
– glass cleaning agents
– cleaning agents for ceramic glass
hobs
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
– melamine eraser blocks
– sharp metal scrapers
– wire wool
– spot cleaning with mechanical clean-
ing agents
– oven cleaners
– stainless-steel spiral pads
