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).
