Salts are very corrosive and can cause rust. Remove remains
of acidic sauces (ketchup, mustard) or salted food from the
cooking compartment immediately after cooling.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
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.
Roasting set
If possible use the roasting set when roasting (ordering
no. HEZ36DB, also available online in the eShop). This
considerably reduces the amount of spatter from the roast and
therefore the amount of soiling in the cooking compartment.
Cleaning aid
The cleaning aid loosens dirt in the cooking compartment using
steam. It can then be removed easily.
The cleaning process consists of:
■
Cleaning (approx. 30 minutes), then empty the evaporator
dish and wipe out the appliance
■
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.
Preparation
Allow the cooking compartment to cool down and remove the
accessories. Clean the evaporator dish with the enclosed
cleaning sponge.
Put a drop of washing-up liquid into the evaporator dish on the
cooking compartment floor.
Starting the cleaning aid

ing pressure using a soft window cloth or a lint-free microfibre cloth
Appliance exterior (with stainless-steel

Cooking compartment interior with evapo-
rator dish
Hot, soapy water or a vinegar solution – use the enclosed cleaning sponge or a soft
dish brush.
Caution!
The cooking compartment could rust.: Do not use steel pads or scourers.
If the cooking compartment is very dirty, use only the oven and grill cleaning gel rec-
ommended by the after-sales service (product no. 463 582, also available online in the
eShop). Follow the manufacturers instructions. Other oven cleaners could damage the
appliance.
The cooking compartment light and the seals around the door, light and evaporator
dish must not come into contact with the gel. Allow the gel to act for a maximum of
12 hours and do not switch on the appliance during this time. Then rinse the cooking
compartment thoroughly with water (e.g. with a spray bottle) to remove all traces of the
gel
