Cleaning and care

Oven interior

The oven interior is coated with dark pyrolytic enamel which facilitates cleaning.

This is a particularly hard enamel with an extremely smooth surface and very good anti-stick properties.

Manual cleaning of the oven interior

Allow the oven to cool down before cleaning by hand.

Danger of burning!

The oven interior and the inside of the door should be cleaned after each use. If this is not done subsequent soiling from baking and roasting will become worse and make cleaning harder. In extreme cases, heavy soiling could even damage the surface.

There is a fibre-glass door seal around the oven cavity.

This seal is particularly sensitive and should not be cleaned unless absolutely necessary. Rubbing it can damage it.

Most cooking residues can be removed with a damp cloth and a mild solution of hot water and washing-up liquid.

Never use hard brushes, hard sponges, wire wool pads*, knives or any other abrasive materials or cleaning agents. They can damage the enamel.

If using an oven spray, the manufacturer's instructions must be followed.

*Non-abrasive stainless steel spiral pads can, however, be used.

To make cleaning easier

remove the oven door,

dismantle the door,

remove the FlexiClip telescopic runners,

take out the side runners,

lower the top heating/grill element.

Instructions for doing so are given further on in this section.
