Care and cleaning
With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and
fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain
how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.
Notes
■
Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong type of cleaning agent, observe the information in the
table. Do not use
■
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
■
hard scouring pads or sponges,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment
The back panels, ceiling and side panels of the cooking
compartment are coated with self-cleaning enamel. This
coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and
roasting while the oven is in operation. The higher the
temperature and the longer the oven is in operation the better
the result will be.
If dirt is still visible after operating the oven several times, clean
the back panel, ceiling and side panels with hot soapy water
and a soft cloth.
Over time, discolourations may occur, which can no longer be
removed. These will not damage the enamel.
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.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor
Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
If there are heavy deposits of dirt, use a stainless steel scouring
pad or oven cleaner. Only use when the cooking compartment
is cold. Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with a scouring
pad or oven cleaner.
Cleaning the hook-in racks
You can remove the hook-in racks for easier cleaning.
:
Risk of burning due to hot components in the cooking
compartment!
Wait until the cooking compartment has cooled down.
1.
Push the hook-in rack upwards at the front and unhook to the
side.
2.
Pull the hook-in rack forwards at the rear and unhook to the
side.
3.
Clean the hook-in rack with washing-up liquid and a sponge
or brush.
4.
Align the hook-in rack with the kink (a) facing upwards, so
that the shelf positions match.
5.
Insert the hook-in rack at the rear as far as it will go.
6.
Push the hook-in rack towards the rear.
7.
Insert the hook-in rack at the front as far as it will go.
