around the front of the oven with a damp cloth. Do not scour
the oven seal.
It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment every two to
three months. Cleaning only requires approximately 3.8 kilowatt
hours.
The special heat-resistant enamel and the shiny parts in the
oven may become dull or discoloured after time. This is normal
and does not affect their function. Do not use coarse scouring
pads or strong cleaning agents to remove such discolouration.

its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
ã=
Risk of short circuit!
Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean
the oven.
ã=
Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.
Notes
■
Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use
■
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance
door,
■
metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■
hard scouring pads and sponges,
■
cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
