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.
:
Risk of electric shock!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
which can result in an electric shock.
:
Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior
surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements.
Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a
safe distance.
Cleaning agents
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
Do not use
■
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■
cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol
■
hard scouring pads and sponges
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a

under such flecks.
Special stainless steel cleaning prod-
ucts suitable for hot surfaces are availa-
ble from our after-sales service or from
specialist retailers. Apply a very thin layer

Enamel surfaces
(smooth surfaces)
To facilitate cleaning, you can switch on
the interior lighting and, if necessary,
detach the appliance door. Apply com-
mercially available washing-up liquid or a
vinegar solution with a soft, damp cloth
or chamois; dry with a soft cloth. Soften
any burnt-on food residues with a damp
cloth and washing-up liquid. For stub-
born dirt, we recommend using oven
cleaning gel. This can be applied directly
to the affected area. Leave the cooking
compartment open to dry after cleaning.
