Care And Cleaning; Upper Glass Cover; Cleaning Agents - Siemens HR74W537 Instruction Manual

Care and cleaning

With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain
its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We
will explain here how you should care for and clean them
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 operation. 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.

Upper glass cover

Before opening the top cover, remove any spills with a cloth.
Use glass cleaner if possible.
For cleaning, remove the top cover. To do this, hold the cover
securely on both sides with both hands and pull it upwards.
Wipe the appliance with plenty of water and some washing-up liquid. Always wipe parallel to the natural

starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Do not use any abrasive materials, scouring sponges or
rough cleaning cloths. The stainless steel fronts can be polished using a special care product. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions. You can purchase special stainless steel cleaner from our after-sales service or
from specialist retailers.
Wipe with some washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.

some hot water. Remove the burner cup and cover. Clean with a sponge and some hot water and washing-
grid of the gas burn-
up liquid. Ensure that the gas outlets on the burner cups are clean and unobstructed. Brush the igniters with
ers
a small, soft brush. The gas burners only work if the igniters are clean. Remove food residue from the
burner shells with some washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. Only use a little water. Water must not be
allowed to enter the appliance. Ensure that the nozzle opening does not become blocked or damaged dur-
ing cleaning. Dry all parts after cleaning and place the burner cover accurately on the burner cup. If the
parts are not positioned accurately, it will be harder to ignite the burner. The burner covers are coated with
black enamel. Due to the high temperatures, discolouration may occur. This will not impair the function of
the burner. Replace the wire rack in the oven.
Electric hob (option) Clean with the hard side of a scouring sponge and some liquid scouring agent. After cleaning, switch the
hob on briefly to dry it. Wet hobs rust over time. Then apply a care product. Always remove spilt liquids and
food residue immediately.

them. The hinge with the letter R must be fitted on the right, and

procedure in reverse order.
Only close the top cover once the burners have cooled down.
