5. CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION!
•
Refer to the chapters on safety.
5.1 Notes on cleaning
•
Clean the front of the appliance with a soft cloth moistened with warm soapy water.
•
To clean the metal surfaces, use a regular detergent.
•
Clean the inside of the appliance after each use. Fat or other food remains can cause a fire. The risk is
higher for the baking pan.
•
Remove stubborn dirt with special oven detergents.
•
After each use, clean the accessories and let them dry thoroughly. Use a soft cloth moistened with warm
soapy water.
•
Do not clean non-stick accessories with strong detergents, sharp objects or in the dishwasher. This could
damage the non-stick coating.
•
All surfaces can discolour or alter if you use unsuitable products. In particular the front of the oven gets
damaged by cleaning sprays and descalers. Remove residual detergent immediately.
•
Danger of injury. Steam from an electric household appliance could reach live parts and cause
short-circuiting. Never use a steam appliance to clean the oven.
•
Danger of burns! The heating elements must be switched off. The cooking chamber must not be hot.

–
