Information on acrylamides

you brown food (specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend
that you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown
food too much.
Oven - Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to "Safety information" chapter.
Warning! Before you clean the appliance, switch it
off. Make sure that the appliance is cold.
Warning! Do not clean the appliance with steam
cleaners or high-pressure cleaners.
Caution! Do not use corrosive or scouring cleaning
agents, sharp objects, stain removers or abrasive
sponges.
Warning! Do not clean the glass door with abrasive
cleaning agents or metal scraper. Heat resistant
surface of the inner glass can damage.
Caution! If you use an oven spray, follow the
instructions from the manufacturer.
• Clean the front of the appliance with a soft cloth with
warm water and cleaning agent.
• To clean metal surfaces use a usual cleaning agent
• Clean the oven interior after each use. Thus you can re-
move dirt more easily and it does not burn on.
• Clean stubborn dirt with a special oven cleaner.
• Clean all oven accessories (with a soft cloth with warm
water and cleaning agent) after each use and let them
dry.
• If you have nonstick accessories, do not clean them
using an aggressive agents, sharp edged objects or
dishwasher. It can destroy nonstick coating!
Stainless steel or aluminium appliances:
Clean the oven door with a wet sponge only. Dry it
with a soft cloth.
Do not use steel wool, acids or abrasive materials as they
can damage the oven surface. Clean the oven control pan-
el with the same precautions
Catalytic walls - main oven
The main oven walls with a catalytic coating are self-
cleaning. They absorb fat which collects on walls while
the oven operates.
To support this self-cleaning process heat the oven
without any food regularly:
1. Open the oven door.
2. Remove all accessories from the oven.
3. Close the door.
4. Set the maximum oven temperature and let the oven
operate for 1 hour.
5. Clean the oven cavity with a soft and damp sponge.
Caution! Do not attempt to clean catalytic surfaces
with oven sprays, abrasive cleaners, soap or other
cleaning agents. This may damage the catalytic surface.
Discolouration of the catalytic surface has no effect
on catalytic properties.
