Care and cleaning
With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and
fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain
how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.
Notes
■
Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use
■
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
■
hard scouring pads or sponges,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall and ceiling of the cooking compartment are
coated with self-cleaning enamel. This coating absorbs and
removes splashes from baking and roasting while the oven is in
operation. The higher the temperature and the longer the oven
is in operation, the better the result will be.
If dirt is still visible even after several uses, clean the back wall
and ceiling with hot soapy water and a soft sponge.
Discolouration may occur over time that cannot be removed.
This does not damage the enamel.
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.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor and side walls
Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
If there are heavy deposits of dirt, use a stainless steel scouring
pad or oven cleaner. Only use when the cooking compartment
is cold. Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with a scouring
pad or oven cleaner.
Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have
cooled down.
Detaching the rails
1.
Lift up the front of the rail
2.
and unhook it (figure A).
3.
Then pull the whole rail forward
4.
and remove it (Fig. B).
Clean the rails with cleaning agent and a sponge. For stubborn
deposits of dirt, use a brush.
