Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

•Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due to the different materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.

•Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door glass are caused by reflections from the oven light.

•The enamel is branded at very high temperatures. This process may cause colour variations. This is normal and will not affect appliance operation in any way. The thin edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled and may therefore appear to be unfinished. This will not affect the rust protection.

•The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.

•The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

•All accessories - with the exception of the sliding racks - can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

•We recommend that detergents are not sprayed directly onto the control panel, but that a sponge

is used instead.

!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
