12.4 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, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface.
When the appliance is in operation, the self-cleaning
surfaces absorb splashes from baking, roasting or
grilling, and break them down. If the self-cleaning sur-
faces no longer clean themselves adequately during
operation, heat up the cooking compartment specific-
ally to the right temperature.
