Setting cleaning to run overnight
So that you can use your oven throughout the day, delay the
end of the cleaning process to during the night. See the Time-
setting options section, setting a later end time.

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.

Cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong type of cleaning agent, observe the information in the
table. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
■
hard scouring pads or sponges,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
■
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Area Cleaning agents

scrapers.
Stainless steel Hot soapy water:
Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a soft

starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immedi-
ately. Corrosion can form under such resi-
dues.

our after-sales service or from specialist
retailers. Apply a very thin layer of the
cleaning product with a soft cloth.

After cleaning

When the cooking compartment has cooled down completely,
wipe the salt residues off the self-cleaning surfaces with a
damp cloth.

Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall in the cooking compartment is coated with a
highly porous ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and
disintegrates splashes from baking and roasting while the oven
is in operation. The higher the temperature and the longer the
oven is in operation, the better the result will be.
If splashes are still visible even after repeated use, proceed as
follows:
Clean the floor, ceiling and side panels of the cooking
1.
compartment thoroughly.
Set 3D hot air.
:
2.
With the door closed, heat up the empty oven for
3.
approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.
The ceramic coating is regenerated. When the cooking
compartment has cooled down, remove the brown or white
residue with water and a soft sponge.
Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic
self-cleaning.
If you buy the "self-cleaning ceiling and side panels" optional
accessory at a later stage, you can regenerate the self-cleaning
surfaces with the cleaning system. For this, please see the
Cleaning system section.
Caution!
Never use abrasive cleaning agents. You will scratch or
■
destroy the highly porous coating.
Never treat the ceramic coating with oven cleaner. If oven
■
cleaner accidentally gets onto it, remove it immediately with a
sponge and plenty of water.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor, ceiling and side
walls
Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
If there are heavy deposits of dirt, use a stainless steel scouring
pad or oven cleaner. Only use when the cooking compartment
is cold. Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with a scouring
pad or oven cleaner.
