Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use a steam cleaner or a high-pressure steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Before you start
cleaning the appliance, disconnect it from the power mains and let it cool down.

Appliance housing front

Clean the surfaces with liquid non-abrasive detergents intended for smooth surfaces, and a soft cloth.
Apply the detergent on the cloth and wipe off the dirt; then, rinse with water. Do not apply the detergent
directly on the surfaces. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaners, sharp objects or steel wool, as
these will scratch the appliance.

Aluminum surfaces

Aluminum surfaces should be cleaned with non-abrasive liquid detergents intended for such materials.
Apply the detergent on a wet cloth and clean the surface; then, rinse the surface with water. Do not apply
the cleaner directly on the aluminum surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or abrasive sponges. The
surface should not come into contact with oven cleaning sprays.

Stainless steel front panels

(only with some models)
Clean the surface with a mild cleaner (soapsuds) and a soft sponge that will not scratch the material. Do
not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaners. If these instructions are ignored, the housing surface can be
damaged.
Lacquer-coated and plastic surfaces
(only with some models)
Clean the buttons / knobs and the door handle with a soft cloth and liquid detergents intended for
cleaning smooth lacquer-coated surfaces. You may also use the cleaners made especially for this type of
surfaces; in this case, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Inner door glass
The inner door glass is treated with a special refl ective fi lm. Only use a mild detergent (soapsuds)
and a soft non-abrasive sponge to clean the surface. Do not use any harsh or abrasive detergents or
cleaning aids that contain solvents.
WARNING: The above surfaces should never come into contact with oven cleaning sprays, as these will
permanently damage the aluminum parts.
• Air circulating in the oven may speed up the process of defrosting
frozen food. Select the defrosting operation mode by pressing the
L9 key.
• Food appropriate for defrosting includes cakes with heavy cream
or butter-based fi lling, other cakes and pastry, bread, buns, and
deep-frozen fruit.
• For reasons of hygiene, meat and poultry should not be defrosted
in an oven.
If possible, turn around or stir the food several times to make
defrosting more even.
