Cleaning and care
55
Danger of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven compartment
or accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment and the accessories to
cool before manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for
cleaning.
Surfaces can discolour or alter if
unsuitable cleaning agents are used.
The oven front is particularly
susceptible to damage from oven
cleaners or descaling agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can in
some circumstances lead to
breakage.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not
use:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents on the front
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. powder
cleaners, scouring milk, scouring
pads)
- Solvent-based cleaning agents
- Stainless steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaning agents
- Glass cleaning agents
- Cleaning agents for ceramic glass
hobs
- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges
which have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents)
- Stain remover eraser blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Steel wool
- Spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
- Oven cleaners
- Stainless-steel spiral pads
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove. If items are used frequently
without being cleaned, it may
become very difficult to clean them.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
The accessories are not
dishwasher-safe.
Tip: Soiling caused by spilt fruit juices
and cake mixtures is best removed
while the oven compartment is still
warm.
To make it easier to clean the oven:
Remove the door.
Take out the side runners with
FlexiClip runners (if fitted).
Lower the top heat/grill element.
