Notes
¡ Enamel burns at very high temperatures, causing minor discol-
ouration. The functionality of your appliance is not affected by
this.
¡ The edges of thin baking trays cannot be completely enamelled
and may be rough. This does not impair corrosion protection.
¡ Food residues will leave a white coating on the enamel surfaces.
The coating does not pose a health risk. The functionality of your
appliance is not affected by this. Remove residues with lemon
juice.
Follow the instructions for self-cleaning surfaces.

22.4 Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces in the
cooking compartment
The back panel in the cooking compartment is self-
cleaning. The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a
porous, matte ceramic layer and have a coarse sur-
face. When the appliance is in operation, the self-clean-
ing surfaces absorb splashes of fat from baking, roast-
ing or grilling and break them down. If the self-cleaning
surfaces no longer clean sufficiently during operation,
heat up the cooking compartment specifically.
ATTENTION!
If the self-cleaning surfaces are not cleaned regularly,
the surfaces may be damaged.
▶
If dark spots can be seen on the self-cleaning sur-
faces, heat up the cooking compartment.
▶
Do no use any oven cleaners or abrasive cleaning
aids. If oven cleaner accidentally comes into contact
with the self-cleaning surfaces, dab the surfaces im-
mediately with water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub
them.
1.
Remove accessories and cookware from the cook-
ing compartment.
2.
Detach the shelf supports and remove them from
the cooking compartment.
→ "Rails", Page 27
3.
Remove coarse dirt using soapy water and a soft
cloth:
– From the smooth enamel surfaces
– From the inside of the appliance door
