Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the
oven
The back wall, roof and side walls of the oven are coated with
self-cleaning enamel. This coating absorbs and dispels
splashes from baking and roasting while the oven is in
operation. You will obtain a better result, the higher the
temperature and the longer the oven is in operation.
If soiling is still visible after several uses, proceed as follows:
First clean the oven floor.

temperature.
The ceramic coating is regenerated. Brownish and black
residues can then be removed with water and a soft sponge.
Slight colour variations of the coating have no effect on the self-
cleaning function.
Caution!
Never use abrasive cleaners. This could scratch or damage
■
the highly porous surface coating.
Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning surfaces. If oven
■
cleaner is accidentally applied to these surfaces, wipe it away
immediately with a sponge and plenty of water.
