: Risk of fire!
The appliance will become very hot on the outside during the
Self-cleaning cycle. Never hang flammable objects, e.g. tea
towels, on the door handle. Do not place anything against the
front of the appliance.
Before self-cleaning
Remove ovenware and unsuitable accessories from the
cooking compartment.
Clean the oven door and the along the edges of the cooking
compartment in the area around the seal. Do not clean the seal.
: Risk of fire!
Loose food residues, grease and meat juices may catch fire.
Wipe the cooking compartment and the accessories that are to
be cleaned at the same time with a damp cloth.
Cleaning accessories at the same time
You can clean enamelled accessories without anti-stick coating
at the same time, e.g. the universal pan, at level 2. 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.

Setting cleaning to run overnight
So that you can use your oven throughout the day, delay the
end of the cleaning process to during the night. See the Time-
setting options section, setting a later end time.
After self-cleaning
Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, wipe out the
ash that has been left behind in the cooking compartment with
a damp cloth.
Care and cleaning
With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain
its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We
will explain here how you should care for and clean them
correctly.
Notes
■ Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. 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 will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Cleaning agents
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
Do not use
for the hob
■ undiluted washing-up liquid or dishwasher detergent
■ abrasive materials, scouring sponges
■ aggressive cleaners such as oven spray or stain removers
■ high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
Do not use
for the oven
■ harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol
■ hard scouring pads and sponges
■ high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
