Care and maintenance
Risk of burns from hot surfaces!
You should allow the appliance and the accessories to cool before cleaning.
Do not reach into the water tank compartment if the following appears in the dis-
play: «Please do not remove the water tank».
Improper use can result in damage to the appliance!
Do not use any abrasive or caustic cleaning agents, metal scrapers that are sharp
or scratch, steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, etc. These products will damage
the surfaces. Glass surfaces that are scratched can crack.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
11.1
Cleaning the exterior
▸ Remove any soiling or excess cleaning solution immediately.
▸ Clean the surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid
– for metallic surfaces rub in the direction of the original polish lines.
▸ Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Heatable appliance drawer
The drawer can be removed for ease of cleaning.
▸ Pull out the drawer as far as the stopper will allow, lift slightly and remove from the
front.
11.2
Cleaning the cooking space
Improper use can result in damage to the appliance!
Do not bend the temperature sensor or heating elements.
▸ Any condensate or food particles must be completely removed after each cooking
session with steam.
▸ Place the stainless steel tray under the perforated cooking tray or wire shelf when
cooking to catch food particles and condensate.
▸ Remove any soiling from the cooking space while still hand warm. Use a soft cloth
dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
▸ To remove dried-on soiling more easily, switch the appliance on for about 30 minutes
beforehand, setting it to the
operating mode and a temperature of 80 °C. This will
soften the soiling.
▸ For stubborn soiling, e.g. chicken, clean the cooking space when cold with a grease-
dissolving spray cleaner or cream cleaner in accordance with the manufacturers' in-
structions.
11.3
Cleaning the appliance door
▸ Clean the appliance door with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-
up liquid.
