not be changed in any way. Do not ap-

ply force to or interfere with the appli-

ance door or the control and safety

devices. The illumination may only be

replaced by our Customer Services.

▪ Take care not to damage the appliance

door, the door frame or the door

hinges.

9 Care and maintenance

Risk of burns from hot surfaces! Allow the appliance and accessories to cool down

before cleaning. The appliance may not be used if the appliance door or door de-

tection is damaged. Inspect these parts regularly.

Only use soft cloths for cleaning. Do not use any abrasive, alkaline or acidic clean-

ing agents, metal scrapers that are sharp or scratch, steel wool, scouring pads,

etc. as these products will damage the surfaces. Scratches on the door glass can

cause the glass to break. Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

9.1 Cleaning the exterior

▸ Clean the surfaces and display with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little

washing-up liquid.

▸ Dry with a soft cloth.

cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
