11. OVEN - CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
11.1 Notes on cleaning
Clean the front of the oven with a soft
cloth with warm water and a mild
cleaning agent.
To clean metal surfaces, use a dedicated
cleaning agent.
Clean the oven interior after each use.
Fat accumulation or other food remains
may result in a fire. The risk is higher for
the grill pan.
Clean all accessories after each use and
let them dry. Use a soft cloth with warm
water and a cleaning agent. Do not clean
the accessories in the dishwasher.
Clean stubborn dirt with a special oven
cleaner. Do not apply oven cleaner on
the catalytic surfaces.
If you have nonstick accessories, do not
clean them using aggressive agents,
sharp-edged objects or a dishwasher. It
can cause damage to the nonstick
coating.
Clean the moisture from the cavity after
each use.
11.2 Stainless steel or
aluminium ovens
Clean the oven door with a damp cloth
or sponge only. Dry it with a soft cloth.
Do not use steel wool, acids or abrasive
materials as they can damage the oven
surface. Clean the oven control panel
with the same precautions.
11.3 Catalytic cleaning
CAUTION!
Do not clean the catalytic
surface with oven sprays,
abrasive cleaning agents,
soap or other cleaning
agents. This will damage the
catalytic surface.
Spots or discolouration of
the catalytic surface have no
effect on catalytic
properties.
WARNING!
Keep children away when
you clean the oven at a high
temperature. The oven
surface becomes very hot
and there is a risk of burns.
CAUTION!
Always turn the oven light on
while using the catalytic
cleaning (if applicable).
Before activating the
catalytic cleaning remove all
the accessories from the
oven.
The walls with a catalytic coating are self-
cleaning. They absorb fat which collects
on the walls while the appliance
operates.
To support the self-cleaning procedure,
heat the empty oven on a regular basis.
1. Clean the oven floor with warm water
and washing up liquid, then dry it.
2. Set the oven temperature to 250 °C
and let the oven operate for 1 hour.
3. When the appliance is cool, clean it
with a soft and moist sponge.
11.4 Cleaning the cavity
embossment
The cleaning procedure removes
limestone residue from the cavity
embossment after cooking with steam.
For the function: True Fan
Cooking PLUS we
recommend to do the
cleaning procedure at least
every 5 - 10 cooking cycles.
1. Put 250 ml of white vinegar into the
cavity embossment at the bottom of
the oven.
