Cleaning the appliance exterior
Cleaning the cooking compartment
Caution!
Risk of damaging the surface. Do not clean the appliance while
still warm, even if using oven cleaners specially intended for
this purpose.
Notes
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures during
manufacture. This can cause some slight colour variation.
This is normal and does not affect proper functioning.
■
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As
a result, these edges can be rough. Anti-corrosion protection
is still guaranteed, however.
Keeping the appliance clean
To avoid getting the cooking compartment dirty,
■
clean the cooking compartment after each use, as dirt will
bake on the next time it is heated up, and this can only be
removed with difficulty
■
always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and
albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately
■
use
3
CircoTherm® whenever possible. This operating
mode creates less dirt
■
Use the universal pan to bake very moist cakes
■
use suitable ovenware when roasting (e.g. roasting dish) or a
roasting sheet (see section: Accessories)

Stainless steel surfaces
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Use cleaners for matted stainless steel if very dirty.
Painted surfaces
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Glass surfaces
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Door panels
Use a commercially available glass cleaner or washing-up liquid with a soft, damp
cloth or chamois; dry with a soft cloth.
The inner door panel on the appliance door has a coating which reduces the tempera-
ture and reflects the heat. The view through the appliance door is not impaired by this.
When the appliance door is open this coating can have the effect of a light-coloured
film. This is part of the design and is not due to any quality defect.
Hob
Your hob comes with its own instructions for use. They contain information on care and
cleaning.

Enamel surfaces (smooth surfaces)
To facilitate cleaning, you can switch on the interior lighting and detach the appliance
door if necessary.
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid or a vinegar solution with a soft, damp
cloth or chamois; dry with a soft cloth.
Loosen baked on food residues with a damp cloth and detergent.
We recommend using oven cleaning gel if the oven is very dirty. This can be applied
neat to the affected area.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning.
