Cleaning function
Your appliance has the "Cleaning function" and
"Descaling" operating modes. The self-cleaning
surfaces in the cooking compartment are cleaned with
the cleaning function. You can use the "descaling"
operating mode to remove limescale from the
evaporator.
Cleaning function
The self-cleaning surfaces (back panel, ceiling panel
and side panels) are coated with a porous, matt
ceramic material. This coating absorbs and breaks
down splashes from baking, roasting and grilling while
the oven is in operation. If the surfaces no longer clean
themselves adequately and dark patches appear, the
surfaces can be cleaned by the cleaning function.
Note:
The appliance records the number of times it is
used. The appliance indicates when it has reached a
point in time after which cleaning is recommended. The
recommendation is displayed until the cleaning function
has finished.
If you do not act on this recommendation, the self-
cleaning surfaces may become damaged.
If your appliance is already prematurely very dirty or if
you notice dark patches on the back panel, do not wait
until your appliance recommends cleaning to do so.
This is because the more often the appliance is
cleaned, the longer the self-cleaning surfaces will retain
their cleaning capability. You can clean your appliance
at any time as required using the cleaning function.
Caution!
If your appliance has a steam function, the messages
recommending that you descale the appliance and that
you run the cleaning function may appear at the same
time. Follow the recommendation to descale the
appliance. The recommendation to run the cleaning
function does not appear on the display again until you
have descaled the appliance.
Before running the cleaning function
Remove shelves, rails, accessories and ovenware from
the cooking compartment.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor and the
inside of the appliance door
Remove the worst dirt from the cooking compartment
floor, the inside of the appliance door and the interior
lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that can no
longer be removed.
Caution!
Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces.
This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get
onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water
and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not
use abrasive cleaning aids.

Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, wipe
down the cooking compartment with a damp cloth if
necessary.

This is not rust, but residue from food. These spots are
not harmful and do not impair the cleaning ability of the
self-cleaning surfaces.
