Avoiding Damage to the Appliance
and the Cabinet
Steam Oven and Cabinet Fronts
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the steam
oven.
Do not take off the door seal. A damaged door seal
must be changed immediately.
After taking the food out of the oven, allow the oven
to cool down with the door closed. Do not leave the
oven door half open, the hot air can cause damage
to adjacent cabinets. The cooling fan will continue
to run for a while and will then switch off
automatically.
Avoiding Damage to the Oven
Interior
The interior of your new steam oven is made out of
high grade stainless steel. However, lack of care
and maintenance might cause corrosion.
Observe the following tips to avoid corrosion in the
oven. No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from non compliance with these
notes.
•
Clean and dry the oven interior after it has
cooled down.
•
Aggressive cleaners may cause corrosion. Only
use hot soapy water to clean the oven interior.
Use the cleaning aid.
•
Do not use oven cleaner or caustic cleaners.
Do not use cleaners containing chloride.
•
For regular care of the stainless steel interior
we recommend the Gaggenau oven care
product. Please observe the notes in the
cleaning chapter.
•
Salt in the oven reacts aggressively. Salt
residues on the oven interior may cause spots
of corrosion. Always remove residues
immediately.
•
Spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup, mustard) and
salted food (e.g. salted roasts) contain chloride
and acids. These act aggressively on stainless
steel. Always clean the oven interior after use.
•
If your tap water contains a high chloride
content (>40 mg/l) we recommend you use
non-carbonated bottled water with a low
chloride content instead. Refer to your local
water supply company for information
concerning your tap water.
•
Only use original accessories in the oven
interior. Rusting materials (e.g. serving plates,
cutlery) may cause corrosion of the oven
interior.
•
Only use original small parts (e.g. knurled
nuts). Order small parts from our after-sales
service, should you loose any.
