Cleaning and care
91
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the
heating elements, the oven
compartment, or accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment and the accessories to
cool before manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for
cleaning the oven.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter. The oven front is
particularly susceptible to damage
from oven cleaners or descaling
agents.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Scratches
on glass surfaces could cause a
breakage in certain circumstances.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents on the front
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– stainless steel cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaners
– glass cleaning agents
– cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
– dirt erasers
– sharp metal scrapers
– steel wool or metal scourers
– spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
– oven cleaners or oven sprays
– stainless-steel spiral pads
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove. If items are used frequently
without being cleaned, it may
become very difficult to clean them.
Remove any soiling immediately.
