Cleaning and care of the oven
49
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven
compartment, or accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment, and accessories to
cool before manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for
cleaning.
All surfaces could be discolored or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. The oven front is
particularly susceptible to damage
from oven cleaners or descaling
agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can
lead to breakage in some
circumstances.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids, or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents on the front
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g., powder
cleaners and cream cleaners)
- Solvent-based cleaning agents
- Stainless steel cleaning agents
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Glass cleaners
- Cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops
- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
- Eraser sponges
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Steel wool
- Spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
- Oven cleaners
- Stainless-steel spiral pads
If soiling is allowed to sit for any length
of time, it may become impossible to
remove. If items are used frequently
without being cleaned, it may become
very difficult to clean them.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
The accessories are not
dishwasher-safe.
Tip:
Soiling caused by spilled fruit
juices and cake mixtures is best
removed while the oven is still warm.
Use caution and make sure the oven is
not too hot.
To make it easier to clean the oven:
Remove the door.
Remove the side racks.
