16 Self-cleaning
With the self-cleaning cleaning function, the cooking
compartment is cleaned virtually automatically.
Use the "Self-cleaning" to clean the cooking compart-
ment every two to three months. You can use the "Self-
cleaning" more often, if required. The "Self-cleaning" re-
quires approx. 2.5–4.7 kilowatt hours.
16.1 Preparing the appliance for the
cleaning function
To achieve a good cleaning result and prevent dam-
age, prepare the appliance carefully.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Combustible objects that are left in the cooking com-
partment may catch fire.
▶
Never store combustible objects in the cooking
compartment.
▶
If smoke is emitted, the appliance must be switched
off or the plug must be pulled out and the door
must be held closed in order to stifle any flames.
Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch
fire when the cleaning function is in progress.
▶
Before starting the cleaning function, always remove
the worst of the food residues and remnants from
the cooking compartment and accessories.
The outside of the appliance gets very hot when the
cleaning function is in progress.
▶
Never hang combustible objects, e.g. tea towels, on
the door handle.
▶
Leave the front of the appliance clear.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
If the door seal is damaged, a large amount of heat is
generated around the door.
▶
Do not scrub or remove the seal.
▶
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
or missing.
1.
Remove coarse dirt from the cooking compartment
and from the accessories.
2.
Use a detergent solution and a soft cloth to clean
the surfaces at the edges of the cooking compart-
ment around the door seal.
Do not remove or scrub the door seal.
Use oven cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the
inner door pane.
3.
To clean an accessory as well, insert the accessory
at level 2.
Note:
Only clean accessories that were included
with the appliance and that are enamelled, e.g. the
universal pan or the baking tray. Wire racks are not
suitable for the cleaning function and will become
discoloured.
4.
Remove any objects from the cooking compartment.
The cooking compartment must be empty except for
the accessory that is also being cleaned.
16.2 Setting the self-cleaning function
Ventilate the kitchen while the cleaning function is run-
ning.
WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!
The cleaning function heats up the cooking compart-
ment to a very high temperature so that food left over
from roasting, grilling and baking will burn off. This pro-
cess releases vapours, which can irritate mucous mem-
branes.
▶
Keep the kitchen well ventilated while the cleaning
function is running.
▶
Do not remain in the room for long periods.
▶
Keep children and pets away.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The cooking compartment gets very hot when the
cleaning function is in progress.
