Cleaning and maintenance

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 colors 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 that 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 color variation. This is normal and does not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enameled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anticorrosion protection.

WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Moisture entering the appliance can cause an electrical shock. Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner.

WARNING
RISK OF BURNS

The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the hot inside surfaces of the oven interior or heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children away.

Cleaning agents

Observe the following information to ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong type of cleaning agent.

Do not use:

• any harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
• cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
• hard scouring pads or 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 self-cleaning 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 rear and side walls are covered with catalytic paneling. So not use oven cleaner on the catalytic panels. Slight discoloration of the enamel does not affect 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 a 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.

Tips for using your appliance

Here you will find a selection of tips about cookware and preparation methods.

Notes

• Use the accessories provided. Additional accessories may be obtained as optional accessories from specialist retailers or from customer service. Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and cookware from the cooking compartment.
• Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

Baking

Baking tins

• Use light-colored 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 broiling

Cookware

You may use any heat-resistant cookware. Always place the cookware in the center of the wire rack. The enameled baking tray is also suitable for large roasts.

Roasting tips

• A lower temperature results in more even browning.
• Depending on the size of the meat, 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 that 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 enameled baking tray into shelf position 1 to collect the drips of fat.

Roasting tips

Broiling tips

• As far as possible, the pieces of food you are broiling should be of equal thickness. They should be at least 1 inch thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
• Place the food to be broiled in the center of the wire rack. Pour a little water into the enameled baking tray and insert this into the shelf position underneath the broil element to collect the drips of fat. Never place it on the cooking compartment floor.
• Drizzle some oil over the food to be broiled before you place it on the wire rack under the broil element.
• If the food to be broiled is thin, turn it over halfway through broiling; if it is thick, turn it over several times during broiling. 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.
