Caution!
Risk of surface damage: If descaler or the oven and grill
cleaning gel comes into contact with the front of the appliance
or other sensitive surfaces, wash it off immediately with water.
Remove food residues from the cooking compartment as soon
as the appliance has cooled. Burnt-on remains will be much
harder to remove later.
For heavy soiling use the cleaning aid (see section: Cleaning
aid).
Salts are very corrosive and can cause rust. Remove remains
of acidic sauces (ketchup, mustard) or salted food from the
cooking compartment immediately after cooling.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
Mild window cleaning agent – wipe the aluminium front horizontally and without apply-
ing pressure using a soft window cloth or a lint-free microfibre cloth
Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
Always remove any flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white)
immediately. Special stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained from the after-
sales service or from specialist retailers
Hot, soapy water or a vinegar solution – use the enclosed cleaning sponge or a soft
dish brush.
Caution!
The cooking compartment could rust.: Do not use steel pads or scourers.
If the cooking compartment is very dirty, use only the oven and grill cleaning gel rec-
ommended by the after-sales service (product no. 463 582, also available online in the
eShop). Follow the manufacturers instructions. Other oven cleaners could damage the
appliance.
The cooking compartment light and the seals around the door, light and evaporator
dish must not come into contact with the gel. Allow the gel to act for a maximum of
12 hours and do not switch on the appliance during this time. Then rinse the cooking
compartment thoroughly with water (e.g. with a spray bottle) to remove all traces of the
gel
Soapy water – do not clean in the dishwasher.
Rub dry after every use
Thoroughly dry after every use
See section: Cleaning the rails
See section: Cleaning the door panels
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: After cleaning, wipe the door panels with glass cleaner, then
dry. Otherwise, stains will be caused that will not be able to be removed.
Hot soapy water
Soak in hot soapy water. Clean with a washing-up brush or sponge, or in the dish-
washer.
Clean stains caused by starchy food (e.g.rice) with a vinegar solution
Microfibre cloth
The honeycomb microfibre cloth is particularly suitable for
cleaning sensitive surfaces such as glass, glass ceramic,
stainless steel or aluminium (product no. 460 770, also
available from our online eShop). It removes liquid and greasy
deposits in one go.
