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.

The gas burners only work properly
when the ignition plugs are clean. Dry all
parts thoroughly. Ensure they are refitted
correctly.
The burner caps are coated in black
enamel. The colour may change over
time. This does not affect their operation.
Enamel surfaces For easier cleaning, you can switch on
(smooth surfaces) the cooking compartment lighting and, if
necessary, unhook the appliance door.
Apply a standard washing-up liquid or
vinegar solution using a soft, damp cloth
or chamois leather. Dry using a soft

with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.
If it is very dirty, we recommend oven
cleaner in gel form. This can be applied
to the affected area. Leave the cooking
compartment open after cleaning to
allow it to dry.

Catalytic cooking compartment panels

The catalytic cooking compartment panels are coated with self-
cleaning enamel.
The surfaces clean themselves while the oven is in operation.
Larger splashes will only be removed after the oven has been
used several times.
The rear and side walls are covered with catalytic panelling.
Never clean these surfaces with oven cleaner. Slight
discolouration of the enamel does not affect self-cleaning.
