Care and cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain how to maintain and clean your oven 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 their function. 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.

Risk of electric shock! Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

Risk of burns! The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a safe distance.

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

• 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.

Catalytic cooking compartment panels

• The catalytic cooking compartment panels are coated with selfcleaning enamel.
• The surfaces clean themselves while the oven is in operation. Larger splashes will only be removed after the oven has been used several times.

Self-cleaning surfaces

• The side walls are covered with catalytic panelling. Never clean these surfaces with oven cleaner. Slight discolouration of the enamel does not affect automatic self-cleaning

Removing and installing the door panels

To facilitate cleaning, you can remove the glass panels from the oven door.

Removing the door panels

1.Open the oven door fully.

2. Lock both hinges on the left and right using the locking pin.

Note: The locking pins must be fully inserted into the holes in the hinges.

3. Lift the bottom of the inner panel slightly until the fastening pins come out of the holder (1).

4. Carefully lift the top of the inner panel until the fastening pins come out of the holder (2).

Caution! When lifting the inner panel, the middle panel may stick to the inner panel. Make sure that the middle panel does not fall.

5. Remove the inner panel.

6. Remove the middle panel.

Note: The middle panel is kept in place with rubber bushings rather than retaining pins.

Clean the panels with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Risk of injury! Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

Fitting the door panels

1. Reinsert the middle panel. Notes
   • If the Low-E symbol can be read, the middle panel is inserted correctly.
   • Make sure that the panel is seated correctly. All rubber mounts must lay flat against the outer panel.
2. Reinsert the inner panel. Note: All four fastening pins must engage in the holders provided for them.
3. Remove the locking pins and close the oven door.

Removing and fitting the appliance door

If the oven is very heavily soiled, the oven door can be removed for easier cleaning. Normally, however, this is not necessary

Removing the hook-in racks

The hook-in racks are each fixed to the side panels of the cooking compartment at three points.

• Voltage: 230 V;
• Power: 40 W;
• Fitting: G9;
• Temperature resistance: 300 °C

8. Refit the glass cover for the oven light bulb.

9. Refit the hook-in racks.

10.Remove the tea towel.

Tips for using your appliance

Here you will find a selection of tips on ovenware and preparation methods.

Notes

• Use the accessories provided. Additional accessories may be obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service. Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
• Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

Baking

Baking tins

• Use light-coloured baking tins and trays wherever possible.
• Always place the baking tins on the middle of the baking and roasting wire rack.

Baking tips

Roasting and grilling

Ovenware

• You may use any heat­resistant ovenware. Always place the ovenware in the middle of the wire rack. The enamelled baking tray is also suitable for large roasts.

Roasting tips

• A a lower temperature produces more even browning.
• Depending on the size of the joint, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10 tablespoons of liquid to pot roasts.
• When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat to run out.
• Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
• Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
• When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow the meat juices to distribute themselves better inside the roast.
• When roasting large pieces of meat, you may find that the amount of steam and condensation on the oven door is more than usual. This is a normal occurrence which has no effect on the oven's performance. Once roasting is complete, dry the oven door and window with a cloth.
• If you are roasting on the wire rack, insert the enamelled baking tray into shelf position 1 to collect the drips of fat.

Grilling tips

• If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. They should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This ensures that they brown evenly while also remaining succulent.
• Place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack. Pour a little water into the enamelled baking tray and insert this into the shelf position underneath the grill to collect the drips of fat. Never place it on the cooking compartment floor.
• Drizzle some oil over the food to be grilled before you place it on the wire rack under the grill.
• If the food to be grilled is thin, turn it over halfway through grilling; if it is thick, turn it over several times during grilling. Use tongs when turning the food to avoid piercing it and, in the case of meat, to keep the meat juices inside the meat.
• Dark meats such as lamb and beef brown better and more quickly than light meats such as pork and veal.
