 Danger of burning.
Make sure the oven heating
ele
ments are switched off and that
the oven cavity is cool.
 Danger of inj
ury.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the oven.
All surfaces can become discoloured
or damaged if unsuitable cleaning
ag
ents are used. The front of the
oven, in particular, will be damaged
by oven cleaners.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scr
atching. Scratches on glass
surfaces could cause a breakage in
certain circumstances.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
imme
diately.
Stubborn soiling could damage the
ove
n in certain circumstances.
Clean the oven interior, inside of the
door and door seal as soon as the
ove
n has cooled down. Waiting too
long can make cleaning
unnecessarily difficult and in some
cases impossible.
Check the door and door seal for
any sign of damage. If any damage
is noticed, the oven should not be
used aga
in in Microwave mode until
the fault has been rectified by a
service technician.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not
use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
age
nts on the oven front,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners an
d cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– glass cleaning agents,
– cleaning agents for ceramic hobs,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scour
ers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
– melamine eraser blocks,
– sharp metal scrapers or tools,
– wire wool,
– stainless steel spiral pads,
– spot cleaning,
– oven cleaner*,
* these can, however, be used to
r
emove very heavy soiling from
PerfectClean treated surfaces.
