Cleaning and maintenance
With thorough care and cleaning your appliance will
retain its looks and remain in good order. We will
explain here how you should care for and clean your
appliance correctly.
ã
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.
ã
Risk of electric shock!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do
not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

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