Self-cleaning
During self-cleaning, the oven heats up to approx. 500 . This
burns off residues from roasting, grilling or baking and you only
need to wipe the ashes from the cooking compartment.
You can choose from three cleaning levels.
The heavier and older the dirt, the higher the cleaning level
should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment
every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven
more frequently than this. A cleaning cycle requires only
approx. 2.5 - 4.7 kilowatt hours.
Important notes
For your safety, the oven door locks automatically. The oven
door cannot be opened again until the cooking compartment
has cooled slightly and the padlock symbol for the locking
mechanism disappears.
The oven light in the cooking compartment does not come on
during Self-cleaning.

be cleaned at the same time with a damp cloth.
Cleaning accessories at the same time
The shelves are not suitable for the self-cleaning programme.
Take them out of the cooking compartment. If you wish to clean
accessories at the same time, use the accessory holders.
Insert the left and right-hand accessory holders.
You can use the holder to clean enamelled accessories without
a non-stick coating at the same time, e.g. the universal pan.
Always only clean one accessory at a time.
Non-enamelled accessories, e.g. the wire rack, are not suitable
for the self-cleaning programme. Remove them from the
cooking compartment.
: Risk of serious damage to health.!
Never clean non-stick baking trays and baking tins at the same
time using the self-cleaning programme. High temperatures
damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gases are
released.

cleaning programme, please see the optional accessory table
at the start of these instructions.
