Keeping the appliance clean

 To avoid getting the cooking compartment dirty,

■

clean the cooking compartment after each use, as dirt will 

bake on the next time it is heated up, and this can only be 

removed with difficulty

■

always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and 

albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately

■

use

3

 CircoTherm® whenever possible. This operating 

mode creates less dirt

■

Use the universal pan to bake very moist cakes

■

use suitable ovenware when roasting (e.g. roasting dish) or a 

roasting sheet (see section: Accessories)

Self-cleaning surface

The back wall of the cooking compartment is coated with self-

cleaning enamel. This coating absorbs and disintegrates 

splashes from baking and roasting while the oven is in 

operation.
Large splashes only disappear after the oven has been used 

several times.
Discolouration on the rear wall does not affect the self-cleaning 

function.

Caution!

Damage to surfaces on self-cleaning areas due to applying 

oven cleaner.Never clean the self-cleaning surfaces with oven 

cleaner.
If oven cleaner accidentally gets onto self-cleaning surfaces, 

remove it immediately with a sponge and plenty of water.

Caution!

Damage to surfaces on self-cleaning areas due to the use of 

abrasive and acidic cleaning agents and aids.
Do not use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances or 

acids.
Do not use abrasive cleaning aids such as steel wool or 

scourers.

EasyClean®

Your appliance comes with an

>

 EasyClean® function to 

make cleaning the cooking compartment easier. An 

automatically controlled vaporisation of soapy water loosens 

residues and makes it easier to remove them afterwards.
In the case of persistent dirt, you can

■

allow the soapy water to penetrate for a while before 

switching on EasyClean

■

rub detergent onto the dirty surfaces before switching on the 

cleaning aid

■

repeat the EasyClean® function once the cooking 

compartment has cooled
