Cleaning the appliance exterior
Cleaning the cooking compartment
Caution!
Risk of damaging the surface. Do not clean the appliance while
still warm, even if using oven cleaners specially intended for
this purpose.
Notes
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures during
manufacture. This can cause some slight colour variation.
This is normal and does not affect proper functioning.
■
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As
a result, these edges can be rough. Anti-corrosion protection
is still guaranteed, however.
Keeping the appliance clean
To avoid getting the cooking compartment dirty,
■
clean the cooking compartment after each use, as dirt will
bake on the next time it is heated up, and this can only be
removed with difficulty
■
always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and
albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately
■
use
3
CircoTherm® whenever possible. This operating
mode creates less dirt
■
Use the universal pan to bake very moist cakes
■
use suitable ovenware when roasting (e.g. roasting dish) or a
roasting sheet (see section: Accessories)
Self-cleaning surface
The back wall of the cooking compartment is coated with self-
cleaning enamel. This coating absorbs and disintegrates
splashes from baking and roasting while the oven is in
operation.
Large splashes only disappear after the oven has been used
several times.
Discolouration on the rear wall does not affect the self-cleaning
function.
Caution!
Damage to surfaces on self-cleaning areas due to applying
oven cleaner.Never clean the self-cleaning surfaces with oven
cleaner.
If oven cleaner accidentally gets onto self-cleaning surfaces,
remove it immediately with a sponge and plenty of water.
Caution!
Damage to surfaces on self-cleaning areas due to the use of
abrasive and acidic cleaning agents and aids.
Do not use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances or
acids.
Do not use abrasive cleaning aids such as steel wool or
scourers.
EasyClean®
Your appliance comes with an
>
EasyClean® function to
make cleaning the cooking compartment easier. An
automatically controlled vaporisation of soapy water loosens
residues and makes it easier to remove them afterwards.
In the case of persistent dirt, you can
■
allow the soapy water to penetrate for a while before
switching on EasyClean
■
rub detergent onto the dirty surfaces before switching on the
cleaning aid
■
repeat the EasyClean® function once the cooking
compartment has cooled
Appliance part/surface
Cleaning agent/aid
Stainless steel surfaces
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Use cleaners for matted stainless steel if very dirty.
Painted surfaces
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Control panel
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use glass cleaners or glass scrapers.
Door panels
Use a commercially available glass cleaner or washing-up liquid with a soft, damp
cloth or chamois; dry with a soft cloth.
The inner door panel on the appliance door has a coating which reduces the tempera-
ture and reflects the heat. The view through the appliance door is not impaired by this.
When the appliance door is open, this coating can have the effect of a light-coloured
film. This is part of the design and is not due to any quality defect.

To facilitate cleaning, you can switch on the interior lighting and detach the appliance
door if necessary.
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid or a vinegar solution with a soft, damp
cloth or chamois; dry with a soft cloth.
Loosen baked on food residues with a damp cloth and detergent.
We recommend using oven cleaning gel if the oven is very dirty. This can be applied
neat to the affected area.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning.
