MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
Clean the oven regularly to prevent fat and food particles from accumulating,
especially on the surfaces of the interior and the exterior, the door and the
seal.
- Activate the child lock (to prevent the appliance is switched on accidentally).
- Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
- Next wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry the surfaces.
- Remove splashes and stains on the interior surfaces with a cloth and soapy water.
- Next wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry the surfaces.
Important!
Make sure that no water enters the vents. Never use abrasive cleaning
materials or chemical solvents. Always make sure that the seal of the door is
clean. This prevents the accumulation of dirt and allows you to close the door
properly.
Pyrolysis
Instead of cleaning manually, you can clean the oven space or an enamelled
baking tray using the ‘Pyrolysis’ oven feature. During pyrolysis, the oven
space is heated to a very high temperature. Contaminants that are present
incinerate at this high temperature and only ash remains.
With average use of the oven, we recommend running the pyrolysis function once per month.
Caution!
- First, remove all accessories and guide rails / telescopic guide rails from the oven (see ‘Removing and cleaning the guide rails’).
- Then remove any remaining food from the oven space and wipe the space with a damp cloth. Chunks of food and fat may ignite during the pyrolysis process. Fire hazard!
- Note! The oven space and an enamelled baking tray cannot be cleaned at the same time using the pyrolysis function. If you want to clean an enamelled baking tray using pyrolysis, then do this first (the oven space can become dirty due to the cleaning of the baking tray). Insert one baking tray at a time. After that, the oven space can be cleaned.
- Caution! Do NOT clean the glass baking tray using the ‘Pyrolysis’ oven feature.
Starting the Pyrolysis function
- Make sure the oven space is completely empty and no chunks of food and fat are present!
- If you want to clean an enamelled baking tray first, place the special pyrolysis guide rails in position. Wipe the baking tray with a damp cloth and slide the baking tray into the oven on Level 2.
- Remove these special pyrolysis guide rails after the cleaning process.
- Select ‘Pyrolysis’ with the function knob and selection knob.
- Select the desired cleaning intensity:
- Low: approximately 3 hours
- Average: approximately 3,5 hours
- High: approximately 4 hours Only the cleaning intensity can be selected. The time is fixed and depends on the selected cleaning intensity.
- Touch on the confirm button to start pyrolysis clean.
- After a certain period the oven door will be locked automatically for your own safety (once the temperature reaches 250 °C). An unpleasant smell may be released from the oven during the cleaning process.
- The oven door can be opened once the appliance has cooled down (after the end of the pyrolysis cleaning).
- When the oven has cooled down, you can easily wipe away most residues with a damp cloth. Depending on soiling levels in the oven, there may be visible deposits on the door and below in the oven cavity. This is best removed using a non-abrasive sponge and a mild solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. Only warm water and washing-up liquid is normally enough to clean the sealing because this is only dust. Wipe the oven door and the adjacent surfaces around the door seal. Do not rub the seal.
Cleaning function (Steam clean)
With Steam clean and a damp cloth, you can easily remove grease and dirt from
the oven walls.
Using Steam clean
- Only use Steam clean when the oven has cooled down fully. It is more difficult to remove dirt and grease if the oven is hot.
- The program takes 30 minutes. Food remains on the enamel walls will be sufficiently soaked after 30 minutes so that they can be removed with a damp cloth.
- Remove all accessories from the oven.
- Pour 0.15 litres of water into the bottom of the oven.
- Select ‘Steam clean’ with the function knob and selection knob.
- Touch the confirm key to start Steam clean.
- Do not open the door during the cleaning program.
Removing and cleaning the guide rails
Use conventional cleaning products to clean the guide rails.
- Remove the screw using a screwdriver.
- Remove the guide rails from the holes in the back wall.
