Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall, ceiling and side walls of the cooking
compartment are 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.
Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with oven cleaner.
If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean sufficiently, they
can be regenerated with the cleaning system. For more
information, please see the Cleaning system section.
Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic
self-cleaning.
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
Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
If there are heavy deposits of dirt, use a stainless steel scouring

is cold. Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with a scouring
pad or oven cleaner.
