18 Self-cleaning
The
Self-cleaning
cleaning function cleans the cooking
compartment almost by itself.
Use the cleaning function to clean the cooking com-
partment every two to three months. If required, you
can use the cleaning function more frequently. The
cleaning function requires approx. 2.5–4.8 kilowatt
hours.
18.1 Preparing the appliance for the
cleaning function
In order to achieve a good cleaning result, 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 you start the cleaning function, always re-
move coarse dirt from the cooking compartment.
▶
Never clean accessories at the same time.
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.

Remove accessories and cookware from the cook-
ing compartment.
2.
Unhook the shelf supports and remove them from

ment.
4.
Use a detergent solution and a soft cloth to clean
the surfaces at the edges of the cooking compart-
ment around the door seal.

The cooking compartment must be empty.
18.2 Setting the 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.
