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
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
When cleaning the oven do not use
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,
■
scouring pads,
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
■
Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
■
Wash new sponges thoroughly before first use.

face. Dry with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of
limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g.
egg white) immediately. Do not use any abra-
sive materials, scouring sponges or rough
cleaning cloths. The stainless steel fronts can
be polished using a special care product. Fol-
low the manufacturer's instructions. You can
purchase special stainless steel cleaner from
our after-sales service or from specialist retail-
ers.

If a childproof lock has been fitted on the

ing. Soak all plastic parts in hot soapy water
and wash with a sponge. Dry with a soft cloth.
If very dirty, the childproof lock will not work
properly.
Information on care and cleaning can be
Hob
found in the instruction manual for your oven.
Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the
oven
The back wall, roof and side walls of the oven are coated with
self-cleaning enamel. This coating absorbs and dispels
splashes from baking and roasting while the oven is in
operation. You will obtain a better result, the higher the
temperature and the longer the oven is in operation.
If soiling is still visible after several uses, proceed as follows:
First clean the oven floor.
1.
Set the oven to Hot air
2.
Heat the empty oven for approx. 2 hours at maximum
3.
temperature.
The ceramic coating is regenerated. Brownish and black
residues can then be removed with water and a soft sponge.
Slight colour variations of the coating have no effect on the self-
cleaning function.
Caution!
Never use abrasive cleaners. This could scratch or damage
■
the highly porous surface coating.
Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning surfaces. If oven
■
cleaner is accidentally applied to these surfaces, wipe it away
immediately with a sponge and plenty of water.
Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have
cooled down.
Unhooking the rails
Hold the shelf frames from underneath and pull slightly
1.
forward. Pull the extension pins at the bottom of the rails out
of the mounting holes (Fig. A).
Then fold the rails upwards and carefully remove them
