8 Care and maintenance
In pyrolytic self-cleaning, any soiling is burned off at a high temperature. Afterwards the
deposits can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Over time with use the cooking
space can turn matt. Fruit acid and fatty acid deposits can leave stains. This will not af-
fect the cooking or baking characteristics of the appliance nor affect its functioning.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning – including cooling down – takes 3–5 hours depending on
the degree of soiling.
As long as the temperature is over 300 °C, the illumination switches off and can-
not be switched back on.

Damage to accessories from self-cleaning!
Remove accessories, shelf guides, fully extending runners, cookware and any
other objects from out of the cooking space. Otherwise they can become discol-
oured and their surface rough. The rolling properties of full extension roller runners
deteriorate.

End
The appliance door cannot be opened until the temperature has dropped below 300 °C.
▸ Wait until the appliance has cooled to hand warm to remove any residue left behind
using a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaning agents.
At the front of the cooking space is the door seal. It is susceptible to abrasion and
damage from scouring. The door seal therefore requires gentle cleaning.
