17 Cleaning function
You can use the cleaning function to clean the appli-
ance.
17.1 EasyClean cleaning aid
You can use the "EasyClean" cleaning aid to clean light
soiling from the cooking compartment between full
cleans. The "EasyClean" cleaning aid soaks dirt by
evaporating soapy water. It is then easier to remove the
dirt.

17.2 Descaling
To ensure that your appliance continues to operate cor-
rectly, it must be descaled regularly.
How frequently you need to run the descaling pro-
gramme will depend on the water hardness and how
many times you have used the steam function. The ap-
pliance indicates when only another five or fewer
steam-assisted operations are possible. If you do not
carry out the descaling, you can no longer set any op-
eration with steam.
Descaling comprises several steps and takes approx.
70–95 minutes:
¡
Descaling (approx. 55–70 minutes)
¡
First rinse cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes)
¡
Second rinse cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes)
For reasons of hygiene, the descaling programme must
be run in full.
If descaling is interrupted, you can no longer set any
operation. To ensure that the appliance is ready for op-
eration again, carry out two rinse cycles.
Preparing descaling
ATTENTION!
The length of time for which the descaler is left to work
is based on the recommended, liquid descaler. Other
descalers may damage the appliance.
▶
Only use the liquid descaler recommended by us
for the descaling programme.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
▶
Remove descaling solution immediately with water.
1.
Mix the descaling solution:
‒
200 ml liquid descaler
‒
400 ml water
2.
Open the control panel.
3.
Remove the water tank and pour the descaling solu-
tion into it.
4.
Once the descaling solution has been poured into
the water tank, slide the tank back in.
5.
Close the control panel.
Setting the descaling process
ATTENTION!
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
