16 Cleaning and Maintenance
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and maintaining
the device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device
incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.
16.1 Safety information
Attention
Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the
device:
► The appliance must be cleaned regularly and any food residues must be removed.
Insufficient cleanliness of the device can lead to the destruction of the surface, which for
its part can have a negative impact upon the service life of the appliance and can lead
to a dangerous condition of the appliance as well as fungal and bacterial contamination.
► Switch the oven off prior to cleaning it and unplug the plug from the wall power outlet.
► The cooking chamber is hot after it is used. There is a danger of burns! Wait until the
device has cooled down.
► Clean the cooking chamber after use as soon as it has cooled down. Extended waiting
unnecessarily complicates cleaning and can make it impossible in extreme cases.
Excessive accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under certain
circumstances.
► If dampness penetrates into the device, this can damage the electronic components.
Please ensure that no liquid can enter the interior of the device through the ventilation
slots.
► Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
► Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass of the
►
oven door, since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the
glass.
16.2 Cleaning
Cooking chamber and inside of door
Danger of fire
► Always remove grease residues in the device, as these residues can otherwise ignite.
Keep the cooking chamber of the oven clean. Wipe off any spattered or spilt food from
the walls of the cooking chamber with a damp cloth.
If the oven is excessively dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent.
