Cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain 

its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long 

time to come. We will explain here how you should 

correctly care for and clean your appliance.

Suitable cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged 

by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the 

information in the table. Depending on the appliance 

model, not all of the areas listed may be on/in your 

appliance.

Caution!
Risk of surface damage

Do not use:

■

Harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,

■

Cleaning agents with a high alcohol content,

■

Hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges,

■

High-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,

■

Special cleaners for cleaning the appliance while it is 

hot.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Tip: 

Highly recommended cleaning and care products 

can be purchased through the after-sales service. 

Observe the respective manufacturer's instructions.

:

Warning – Risk of burns! 

The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the 

interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the 

heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool 

down. Keep children at a safe distance.

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 panels, which look like 

streaks, are caused by reflections made by the 

interior lighting.

■

Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures.This 

can cause some slight colour variation. This is 

normal and does not affect operation.

The edges of thin trays cannot be completely 

enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. 

This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
