Cleaning and care
Outside of the appliance
• Wipe the front of the appliance with a soft cloth and a solution of hot water and
washing up liquid.
• For metal fronts, use normal commercially available cleaning agents.
• Please do not use scouring agents and abrasive sponges.
Oven Interior
Cleaning
The walls that have a catalytic coating are self-cleaning. They absorb splashes of fat
while the oven is in use.
To support this self-cleaning process, we recommend heating the oven without any food
at regular intervals.
1. To clean the oven, switch the oven light on.
2. Remove all slide-in items from the oven.
3. Wash the oven floor with warm water and washing up liquid, then dry it.
4. Set the oven temperature to 250 °C.
5. Switch the oven off after one hour.
6. When the oven has cooled but is not cold, wipe off any remaining soiling with a soft
damp sponge.
Important! Do not use oven sprays or abrasive cleaners. Do not use soap or other clean-
1
ing agents. Doing so can damage the catalytic surface.
Over time the catalytic coating can discolour slightly. This does not affect its catalytic
3
properties.
Accessories
Wash all slide-in units (shelf unit, baking tray, shelf support rails etc.) after each use and
dry well. Soak briefly to make them easier to clean.
Non-stick accessories
Clean accessories with a soft sponge or cloth in hot water and washing-up liquid.
Bright spots in the coating do not mean that the surface is damaged.

Important: Do not use any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents, spray oven
1
cleaners, steel soap pads or hard objects such as knives or sharp-edged scrapers.
These destroy the coating.
Important: Do not clean these accessories in the dishwasher. The non-stick proper-
1
ties would be lost as a result.
Shelf Support Rails
The shelf support rails on the left and right hand sides of the oven can be removed for
cleaning the side walls.
