28 Self-cleaning
With the self-cleaning cleaning function, the cooking
compartment is cleaned virtually automatically.
Use the cleaning function to clean the cooking com-
partment every two to three months. The cleaning func-
tion can be used more often, if required. The cleaning
function requires approx. 2.5–4.8 kilowatt hours.

WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!
The cleaning function heats up the cooking compart-

from roasting, grilling and baking will burn off. This pro-
cess releases vapours, which can irritate mucous mem-
branes.

Keep the kitchen well ventilated while the cleaning
function is running.
▶
Do not remain in the room for long periods.
▶
Keep children and pets away.
