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.

15.4 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.
