With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain
its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long
time to come. We will explain here how you should
correctly care for and clean your appliance.
Suitable cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged
by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the
information in the table. Depending on the appliance
model, not all of the areas listed may be on/in your
appliance.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage
Do not use:
■Harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
■Cleaning agents with a high alcohol content,
■Hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges,
■High-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
■Special cleaners for cleaning the appliance while it is
hot.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Tip: Highly recommended cleaning and care products
can be purchased through the after-sales service.
Observe the respective manufacturer's instructions.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the
interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the
heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool
down. Keep children at a safe distance.

Notes
■Slight differences in colour on the front of the
appliance are caused by the use of different
materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
■Shadows on the door panels, which look like
streaks, are caused by reflections made by the
interior lighting.

■Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures.This
can cause some slight colour variation. This is
normal and does not affect operation.
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely
enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough.
This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Surfaces in the cooking compartment
The back wall, ceiling and side parts in the cooking
compartment are self-cleaning. You can tell this from
the rough surface.
The cooking compartment floor is enamelled and has
smooth surfaces.
Cleaning enamel surfaces
Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth
and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry
them with a soft cloth.
Soften baked-on food remnants with a damp cloth and
soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven
cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.
Caution!
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
when it is still warm. This may damage the enamel.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking
compartment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after
cleaning it.
Note: Food residues can cause white deposits to form.
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 27
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
C eani ng f unct i on
Your appliance has the "EcoClean" and "Descaling"
operating modes. The self-cleaning surfaces in the
cooking compartment are cleaned with the “EcoClean”
cleaning function. You can use the "Descaling"
operating mode to remove limescale from the
evaporator.
EcoClean
The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment
are cleaned when the operating mode is set to
"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.
Note: The appliance records the number of times it is
used. The appliance indicates when it has reached a
point in time after which cleaning is recommended. The
recommendation is displayed until the cleaning function
has finished.
If you do not act on this recommendation, the self-
cleaning surfaces may become damaged.
If your appliance is already prematurely very dirty or if
you notice dark patches on the back panel, do not wait
until your appliance recommends cleaning to do so.
This is because the more often the appliance is
cleaned, the longer the self-cleaning surfaces will retain
their cleaning capability. You can clean your appliance
at any time as required using the cleaning function.
Before running the cleaning function
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!
Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces.
This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get
