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 its function.
■
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As
a result, these edges may 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 surfaces
The back wall, side walls and ceiling of the cooking
compartment are coated with a highly porous ceramic layer.
This coating absorbs and disintegrates splashes from baking
and roasting while the oven is in operation.
The higher the set temperature and the longer the oven is in
operation, the better the cleaning result. Large splashes only
disappear after the oven has been used several times.
Residues can be removed with water and a soft sponge.
Colour variations on the self-cleaning surfaces have no effect
on 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.
■
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.
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.
Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and detergent.
We recommend using oven cleaner if the oven is very dirty. Observe the manufac-
turer's instructions when cleaning with an oven cleaner.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning.
