Cleaning the appliance exterior
Cleaning the cooking compartment
Caution!
Risk of damaging the surface. Do not clean the appliance while
still warm, even if using oven cleaners specially intended for
this purpose.
Notes
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures during
manufacture. This can cause some slight colour variation.
This is normal and does not affect its function.
■
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As
a result, these edges may be rough. Anti-corrosion protection
is still guaranteed, however.
Keeping the appliance clean
To avoid getting the cooking compartment dirty,
■
clean the cooking compartment after each use, as dirt will
bake on the next time it is heated up, and this can only be
removed with difficulty
■
always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and
albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately
■
use 3 CircoTherm® whenever possible. This operating
mode creates less dirt
■
Use the universal pan to bake very moist cakes
■
use suitable ovenware when roasting (e.g. roasting dish) or a
roasting sheet (see section: Accessories)
Descaling
You can descale your appliance at any time. However, you
must descale the appliance at regular intervals. Otherwise, you
will not be able to continue cooking using steam. The lit
Í symbol reminds you to do this.
After starting steam-assisted operation, the Í symbol lights up
and "No. of uses until descaling required 5" appears for a short
time in the text display. This number tells you how many steam-
assisted operations (e.g. 5) you can still run before you must
descale your appliance. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Appliance part/surface Cleaning agent/aid
Stainless steel surfaces Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Use cleaners for matted stainless steel if very dirty.
Painted surfaces Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Glass surfaces Apply commercially available washing-up liquid with a soft, damp cloth or chamois; dry
with a soft cloth.
Door panels Use a commercially available glass cleaner or washing-up liquid with a soft, damp
cloth or chamois; dry with a soft cloth.
The inner door panel on the appliance door has a coating which reduces the tempera-
ture and reflects the heat. The view through the appliance door is not impaired by this.
When the appliance door is open this coating can have the effect of a light-coloured
film. This is part of the design and is not due to any quality defect.
Water tank Use standard washing-up liquid, dry with a soft cloth and allow to dry off with the lid
open.
Thoroughly rub the seal on the lid until dry after every use.
Caution!
Damage to the water tank: Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher. Clean the
water tank with standard washing-up liquid.
Tank recess Rub dry with a soft cloth after every use

To facilitate cleaning, you can switch on the interior lighting and detach the appliance
door if necessary.
Apply commercially available washing-up liquid or a vinegar solution with a soft, damp

Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and detergent.
We recommend using oven cleaner if the oven is very dirty. Observe the manufac-
turer's instructions when cleaning with an oven cleaner.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning.
