Cleaning agents
Cleaning sponge
The enclosed cleaning sponge is very absorbent. Use the
cleaning sponge only for cleaning the cooking compartment
and for removing residual water from the evaporator dish.
Wash the cleaning sponge thoroughly before using for the first
time. You can wash the cleaning sponge in the washing
machine (hot wash).
Microfibre cloth
The honeycomb microfibre cloth is particularly suitable for
cleaning sensitive surfaces such as glass, glass ceramic,
stainless steel or aluminium (product no. 460 770, also
available from our online eShop). It removes liquid and greasy
deposits in one go.
Descaling
The appliance must be descaled at regular intervals in order for
it to continue operating correctly. The
calc
indicator reminds
you to do this.
You can only dispense with descaling completely if you
exclusively use softened water.
The descaling consists of:
■
Descale (approx. 30 minutes), then refill the water tank and
empty the evaporator dish
■
1st rinse (20 seconds), then empty the evaporator dish
■
2nd rinse (20 seconds), then remove the remaining water
All three steps must be completed in full. The appliance is
ready for operation again only after the 2nd rinse.
Descaler
Only use the liquid descaler recommended by customer
service for descaling (product no. 311 138, also available
online from the eShop). Other descalers may damage the
appliance.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions.
1.
Prepare a descaling solution by mixing 300 ml water and
60 ml liquid descaler.
2.
Empty the water tank and fill with descaling solution.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: If descaler comes into contact with the
front of the appliance or any other sensitive surfaces, wash it off
immediately with water.
