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 cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use
■ sharp 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 the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall in the cooking compartment is coated with a
highly porous ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and
disintegrates 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 splashes are still visible even after repeated use, proceed as
follows:
1. Clean the floor, ceiling and side panels of the cooking
compartment thoroughly.
2. Set
: 3D hot air.
3. With the door closed, heat up the empty oven for
approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.
The ceramic coating is regenerated. When the cooking
compartment has cooled down, remove the brown or white
residue with water and a soft sponge.
Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic
self-cleaning.
If you buy the "self-cleaning ceiling and side panels" optional
accessory at a later stage, you can regenerate the self-cleaning
surfaces with the cleaning system. For this, please see the
Cleaning system section.
Caution!
■ Never use abrasive cleaning agents. You will scratch or
destroy the highly porous coating.
■ Never treat the ceramic coating with oven cleaner. If oven
cleaner accidentally gets onto it, remove it immediately with a
sponge and plenty of water.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor, ceiling and side
walls
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.
Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have
cooled down.
Detaching the rails
1. Lift up the front of the rail
2. and unhook it (figure A).
3. Then pull the whole rail forward
4. and remove it (Fig. B).
Clean the rails with cleaning agent and a sponge. For stubborn
deposits of dirt, use a brush.
