Cleaning sponge

The enclosed cleaning sponge is very absorbent. Use the 

cleaning sponge only for cleaning the cooking compartment 

and for removing residual water from the evaporator dish.
Wash the cleaning sponge thoroughly before using for the first 

time. You can wash the cleaning sponge in the washing 

machine (hot wash).

Microfibre cloth

The honeycomb microfibre cloth is particularly suitable for 

cleaning sensitive surfaces such as glass, glass ceramic, 

stainless steel or aluminium (product no. 460 770, also 

available from our online eShop). It removes liquid and greasy 

deposits in one go.

Roasting set

If possible, use the roasting set when roasting (ordering 

no. HEZ36DB, also available online in the eShop). This 

considerably reduces the amount of spatter from the roast and 

therefore the amount of soiling in the cooking compartment.

Cleaning aid

The cleaning aid loosens dirt in the cooking compartment using 

steam. It can then be removed easily.

The cleaning process consists of:

■

Cleaning (approx. 30 minutes), then empty the evaporator 

dish and wipe out the appliance

■

1st rinse (20 seconds), then empty the evaporator dish

■

2nd rinse (20 seconds), then remove the remaining water

All three steps must be completed in full. The appliance is 

ready for operation again only after the 2nd rinse.

Preparation

Allow the cooking compartment to cool down and remove the 

accessories. Clean the evaporator dish with the enclosed 

cleaning sponge.
Put a drop of washing-up liquid into the evaporator dish on the 

cooking compartment floor.
