Cleaning and Care
Carefully read this chapter before you use your appliance the first time. If it’s cleaned properly and regularly, it will remain beautiful and clean for many years. Here are a few tips for cleaning and maintaining the appliance surfaces.
For all surfaces
=Do not, under any circumstances, use steam or pressure cleaning machines to clean the appliance! Damage caused to your appliance by
cleaning it this way can make it lethally dangerous.
=Risk of burning! Make sure the appliance has cooled down before cleaning.
=Please follow the instructions provided with the cleaning agents you plan to use.
Clean the appliance each time you use it. Dirt that isn’t removed will burn into the surface when you switch it on again and will be difficult or impossible to remove.
Use a damp cloth or a soft sponge with warm water and a little detergent to clean light amounts of surface dirt. Always wipe off the surface completely with cold water to remove residues from cleansers than can cause discoloration and stains. Wipe dry afterwards.
ΦFor information about cleaning individual surfaces and parts and removing heavy dirt, review the information below.

Information about the cleaning scraper
=Be careful! The blade of the cleaning scraper is very sharp and will cut!
Always keep the cleaning scraper flat on the surface and push the dirt away.
= Don't scratch the surface with the edge of the scraper and don't damage the sealing with the edge.
The use of oven sprays - information
=Please follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Oven sprays dam- age aluminum, lacquered surfaces and plastic!
=Do not spray into the opening of the ventilator at the backplate! The ökotherm® catalyst will be destroyed if you use oven spray.
For environmental reasons, don’t use oven spray at all. However, if you do use it, just spray it in the oven interior and on enamel baking trays.
Enamel
Oven interior, front, baking trays, drip pan
Some plastic sponges with an abrasive side can be used. However, some products have grains in the abrasive side of the sponge that can scratch the surface.
Test the sponge on a small surface before using!
