For cleaning
Cleaning the
catalytic enamel
Cleaning the other
enamel surfaces
Notes
Never use hard scouring pads or coarse cleaning
sponges. Oven cleaning agents must only be used on
the enamelled surfaces of the oven.
For very juicy fruit flans, take care not to overload the
baking tray. It is best to use the deeper glass pan.
Fruit juice which drips from the baking tray cannot be
removed even with oven cleaner.
The grill heating element is permanently installed.
It cannot be removed.
The oven light can be switched on for cleaning.
Open the door to do this.
The rear wall and ceiling of the oven are coated with
a catalytic enamel. These surfaces clean themselves
whilst the oven is in operation. You may find, however,
that the appliance must be used several times before
heavy soil can be removed. Any loose soil, etc. can be
easily removed by means of a soft brush or dry cloth.
Never use oven cleaner!
A slight discoloration of the enamel will not influence
automatic self cleaning.
A slightly dirty oven floor or side walls can be wiped
clean using hot soapy water or diluted vinegar
solution.
If the oven floor and side walls are very dirty, it is best
to use an oven cleaning agent to clean them.
q Oven cleaners must only be used in a cold oven.
q Apply the cleaning agent and allow it to take effect.
Caution: Spray only onto the oven floor and side
walls.
For particularly stubborn dirt, it is possible to heat
up the oven to 50 °C for a maximum of 2 minutes,
but no longer, otherwise the enamel could be
stained.
q Rinse out the oven thoroughly.
The oven is enamelled. Enamel must be burned in
at very high temperatures, which can cause slight
discoloration.
