Cleaning the oven
CAUTION!
Risk of burns!
Prior to cleaning, cool the oven com-
■
pletely.
Never pour water directly onto the
■
hot oven. The steam produced can
cause scalding and damage to the
enamel.
Allow the water from the oven to cool
■
off before pouring it away.
Only change the oven light bulb when
■
the oven has cooled down.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
For cleaning purposes, do not use
■
any harsh, abrasive cleaning agents
or scouring agents, steel wool, metal
scrapers, oven sprays, steam cleaners
or high-pressure cleaners! They can
damage the surface and destroy the
glass.
High-pressure cleaners can cause a
short circuit.
Cleaning the front of the
housing
– After cooling, thoroughly clean the surfaces
with warm rinsing water or all-purpose
cleaner.
– For stainless steel surfaces, you can also
use special care products made just for
stainless steel surfaces.
Cleaning the cooking
compartment
– Only switch on the cooking compartment
light for cleaning.
– Clean the cooking compartment and baking
trays after every use if possible, and rinse
with warm water.
– Clean the door seal in the same way, but
be very careful as it is only attached in
certain places, and is otherwise loose.
Steam cleaning
Steam cleaning is a wet cleaning process that
uses steam to remove light stains and dirt.
This is how to clean the cooking compart-
ment in an energy-efficient manner while
conserving materials.
1. Remove the oven rack and baking tray.
2. Slide the dripping pan into the lowest rack
level and pour about 0.5 litres of water
into it.
3. Turn the dial to top and bottom heat and
the temperature controller to 100°C.
4. After 30 minutes of operation, switch the
oven off again and allow everything to
cool down so that the oven walls are only
lukewarm.
5. Use potholders or something similar to
remove the dripping pan from the oven
and pour away the remaining water.
6. Wipe the cooking compartment off with a
damp cloth or sponge.
7. Rinse off the oven rack, baking tray and
dripping pan.
