:
Risk of short circuit!
Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners to
clean your appliance.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: Do not use
■
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■
oven cleaners
■
corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those containing
chlorine
■
cleaning agents with a high alcohol content
If such an agent comes into contact with the front of the
appliance, wash it off immediately with water.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: If descaler or the oven and grill
cleaning gel comes into contact with the front of the appliance
or other sensitive surfaces, wash it off immediately with water.
Remove food residues from the cooking compartment as soon
as the appliance has cooled. Burnt-on remains will be much
harder to remove later.
For heavy soiling use the cleaning aid (see section: Cleaning
aid).
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
Appliance exterior (with aluminium front)
Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
Mild window cleaning agent - wipe the aluminium front horizontally and without apply-
ing pressure using a soft window cloth or a lint-free microfibre cloth.
Appliance exterior (with stainless steel
front)
Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) imme-
diately. 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!
The cooking compartment could rust.: Do not use steel pads or scourers.
If the cooking compartment contains heavy deposits of dirt, use only the oven and grill
cleaning gel recommended by the after-sales service (ordering no. 463 582, also
available online in the eShop). Follow the manufacturer's 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 at least 12 hours
and do not switch on the appliance during this time. Then rinse out the cooking com-
partment thoroughly with water (e.g. with a spray bottle) to remove all gel residues.
Grease filter
Remove the grease filter on the back wall of the cooking compartment by lifting it off
upwards and clean it with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Clean the grease filter
every time heavy dirt deposits have been left behind after cooking
:
Risk of injury!
You could hurt yourself on the grease filter hooks. Always clean the grease filter with
care. Always place the grease filter in the dishwater so that the hooks for fixing it in place
are facing downwards.
