Cleaning and care Warning: For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down. Warning: For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment. Important: Do not use any abrasive cleaners, sharp scrapers or abrasive items.
Oven Interior Oven lighting You can switch on the oven light to make cleaning easier. Cleaning The walls that have a catalytic coating are self-cleaning. They absorb splashes of fat while the oven is in use. To support this self-cleaning process, we recommend heating the oven without any food at regular intervals.
Shelf Support Rails The shelf support rails on the left and right hand sides of the oven can be removed for cleaning the side walls. Removing the shelf support rails First pull the front of the rail away from the oven wall (1) and then un- hook at the back (2).
