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 (30 seconds) and then empty the evaporator dish
■
2nd rinse (30 seconds) and 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 the after-sales
service for descaling (product no. 311138, also available
online from the eShop). Other descalers may damage the
appliance.
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.
3.
Carefully slide in the water tank with the descaling solution
and close the appliance door.
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.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance: If descaler is in the appliance for a
prolonged period, this may damage the water pump. Ensure
that the descaling and rinsing cycles take no longer than three
hours to complete.

grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
Special stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained from the after-sales service or
from specialist retailers.
Cooking compartment interior with evapo-
rator dish
Hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
Use the enclosed cleaning sponge or a soft washing-up brush.
Caution!
■
Damage to the appliance: The water flows through a hose via the cooking compart-
ment floor into the evaporator dish. When cleaning, ensure that you do not exert any
pressure on the water inlet or catch it on something behind it. The hose could be
squeezed out of the cooking compartment. In this case, you must call the after ­ sales
service. Do not use the appliance.

Risk of surface damage: After cleaning, wipe the door panels with glass cleaner, then
dry. Otherwise, stains will be caused that will not be able to be removed.
Inside of the door (plastic cover) Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Always remove any flecks of limescale,
grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
