Cleaning the appliance exterior

Cleaning the cooking compartment

Caution!

Risk of damaging the surface. Do not clean the appliance while 

still warm, even if using oven cleaners specially intended for 

this purpose.

Notes

■

Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures during 

manufacture. This can cause some slight colour variation. 

This is normal and does not affect its function.

■

The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As 

a result, these edges may be rough. Anti-corrosion protection 

is still guaranteed, however.

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.

Appliance part/surface

Cleaning agent/aid

Stainless steel surfaces

Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry 

with a soft cloth. 
Use cleaners for matted stainless steel if very dirty.

Painted surfaces

Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry 

with a soft cloth.

Control panel

Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry 

with a soft cloth.
Do not use glass cleaners or glass scrapers.

Door panels

Use a commercially available glass cleaner or washing-up liquid with a soft, damp 

cloth or chamois; dry with a soft cloth. 
The inner door panel on the appliance door has a coating which reduces the tempera-

ture and reflects the heat. The view through the appliance door is not impaired by this. 

When the appliance door is open, this coating can have the effect of a light-coloured 

film. This is part of the design and is not due to any quality defect.
