Food residues can cause white deposits to form.

Note:

These are harmless and do not affect how the

appliance works. You can remove these residues using

lemon juice if required.

Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces

The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous,

matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels

splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance

is in operation.

If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves

sufficiently and dark stains appear, they can be cleaned

using the cleaning function. To do this, refer to the

information in the relevant section. ~ "Cleaning

function" on page 25

Caution!

Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning surfaces. This

will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto

these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a

sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not use

abrasive cleaning aids.

Keeping the appliance clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt

immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not

build up.

Warning – Risk of fire!

Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch

fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the

food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating

elements and accessories.

Tips

Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This

■

will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.

Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch

■

and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.

Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.

■

Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting

■

dish.

.Cleaning function

T he self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment

C l e a n i n g f u n c t i o n

are cleaned with the "EcoClean" cleaning function.

The self-cleaning surfaces (back panel, ceiling panel

and side panels) are coated with a porous, matt

ceramic material. This coating absorbs and breaks

down splashes from baking, roasting and grilling while

the oven is in operation. If the surfaces no longer clean

themselves adequately and dark patches appear, the

surfaces can be cleaned by the cleaning function.

which operating mode is used. When cleaning is

recommended,

message by pressing any button except the

The prompt will continue to be displayed, however, until

the cleaning function has been run in full.

You can completely reset the cleaning

Note:

recommendation counter by pressing and holding the

button for approximately 4 seconds.

The prompt will not reappear until the appliance has

been used a certain number of times again.

Caution!

If you do not act on this cleaning recommendation, the

self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment may

become damaged.

If your appliance is already very dirty, e.g. because you

have used it to cook fatty poultry or roasts, or if you

notice dark patches on the self-cleaning surfaces, do

not delay running the cleaning function until this prompt

appears. The more often or the earlier the appliance is

cleaned, the longer the self-cleaning surfaces will retain

their ability to clean themselves. You can clean the

cooking compartment at any time as required using the

cleaning function.

therefore a good idea to run the cleaning function after

a power failure has occurred.

Remove shelves, rails, accessories and ovenware from

the cooking compartment.

Cleaning the cooking compartment floor and the

inside of the appliance door

Remove the worst dirt from the cooking compartment

floor, the inside of the appliance door and the interior

lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that can no

longer be removed.

Caution!
