Care And Cleaning; Cleaning Agents - Bosch HBX33R51 Instruction Manua

Care and cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and
fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain
how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.
Notes
Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
■
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
■
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
■
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
:
Risk of electric shock!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
which can result in an electric shock.
:
Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior
surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements.
Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a
safe distance.
