Surfaces in the Oven Cavity The slightly textured surface of the back wall, ceiling and sides in the oven cavity consists of Ecolyse coating material and should not be cleaned with harsh chemicals. The oven cavity bottom is enameled and has a smooth surface. Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy. Cleaning Enamel Surfaces Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and soapy water. If there are heavy food deposits use a soapfilled pad. Note: Food residues can leave a white coating behind. These are harmless and do not affect performance. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required. Keeping the Appliance Clean Always keep the appliance clean and remove food and food spills immediately so that stubborn deposits do not build up. ▯ Clean the oven cavity after each use. This will ensure that food and food spills cannot be baked on. ▯ Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. ▯ Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish. ▯ For cakes or pies that may spill over, place on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place on wire rack. Cleaning Functions NOTICE: Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, wipe it off immediately using water and a sponge. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids. Your appliance is equipped with "Ecolytic Clean", "Easy Clean" and a "Descale" function. The self-cleaning surfaces in the oven cavity are cleaned with the "Ecolytic Clean" cleaning function. Use the "Easy Clean" function for intermediate cleaning of the oven cavity bottom. Food and food spills are saturated with steam enabling soils to loosen when using the "Easy Clean" function and can then be removed more easily. You can use the "Descale" function to remove limescale from the evaporator. Ecolytic Clean Some surfaces in the oven cavity are cleaned with the Ecolytic Clean operating mode. Ecolytic cleaning is constantly cleaning. The side panels, ceiling panel and back panel are coated with a porous, matte ceramic material known as an ecolytic coating. The coating absorbs and breaks down splashes over time from baking, roasting and broiling while the oven is in operation. If the surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately and dark patches appear, the surfaces can be "refreshed" using the Ecolytic Clean mode which helps clean the ecolytic coating by operating the unit at a higher temperature to help speed the process. Note: During normal operation the appliance records the number of times it is used and indicates when it has reached a point where cleaning is recommended. The recommendation is displayed until the Ecolytic Clean mode has finished. If this function is not performed, then the ecolytic surfaces may become damaged. If your appliance becomes prematurely soiled or if you notice dark patches on the back panel, do not wait until your appliance recommends cleaning. The more often the appliance is cleaned, the longer the porous surfaces will retain their cleaning capability. You can clean your appliance at any time needed using the Ecolytic Clean function. Wipe out large spills from the oven before running the Ecolytic Cleaning function. Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven. Before Running the Ecolytic Clean Function Remove racks, rails, accessories and ovenware from the oven cavity. Cleaning the Oven Bottom and the Inside of the Appliance Door Remove the worst food spills from the oven bottom, the inside of the appliance door and the interior lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that cannot be removed. NOTICE: Do not use oven cleaner on the ecolytic cleaning surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, wipe it off immediately using water and a sponge. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids. Start Before setting the cleaning function, ensure that you have followed all instructions for preparation. Cleaning takes 1 hour. The duration cannot be changed. 1. Touch the ON l OFF touch button. 2. Touch the MENU touch button. 3. Swipe to the left or right to select "Ecolytic Clean ™". 4. Touch the bottom line. The cleaning time with Ecolytic Clean is displayed. 5. Touch the bottom line. 6. Touch the START l STOP touch button. The appliance starts Ecolytic Clean. The remaining time appears on the display. Keep the kitchen ventilated while the cleaning function is running. As soon as the cleaning aid has run through, a signal sounds and the appliance ends the operation automatically. 36

Surfaces in the Oven Cavity
The slightly textured surface of the back wall, ceiling and
sides in the oven cavity consists of Ecolyse coating
material and should not be cleaned with harsh
chemicals.
The oven cavity bottom is enameled and has a smooth
surface.
Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning
around a coil element showing on the bottom of the
oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food
soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.
Cleaning Enamel Surfaces
Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and
hot soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and
soapy water. If there are heavy food deposits use a soap-
filled pad.
Note:
Food residues can leave a white coating behind.
These are harmless and do not affect performance. You
can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Cleaning Functions
NOTICE:
Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning
surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner
does get onto these surfaces, wipe it off immediately
using water and a sponge. Do not rub the surface and do
not use abrasive cleaning aids.
Your appliance is equipped with “Ecolytic Clean”,
“Easy Clean” and a “Descale” function. The self-cleaning
surfaces in the oven cavity are cleaned with the
"Ecolytic Clean" cleaning function. Use the “Easy Clean”
function for intermediate cleaning of the oven cavity
bottom. Food and food spills are saturated with steam
enabling soils to loosen when using the “Easy Clean”
function and can then be removed more easily. You can
use the “Descale” function to remove limescale from the
evaporator.
Ecolytic Clean
Some surfaces in the oven cavity are cleaned with the
Ecolytic Clean operating mode.
Ecolytic cleaning is constantly cleaning. The side panels,
ceiling panel and back panel are coated with a porous,
matte ceramic material known as an ecolytic coating.
The coating absorbs and breaks down splashes over
time from baking, roasting and broiling while the oven is
in operation.
If the surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately
and dark patches appear, the surfaces can be
“refreshed” using the Ecolytic Clean mode which helps
clean the ecolytic coating by operating the unit at a
higher temperature to help speed the process.
Note:
During normal operation the appliance records
the number of times it is used and indicates when it has
reached a point where cleaning is recommended. The
recommendation is displayed until the Ecolytic Clean
mode has finished.
If this function is not performed, then the ecolytic
surfaces may become damaged.
If your appliance becomes prematurely soiled or if you
notice dark patches on the back panel, do not wait until
your appliance recommends cleaning. The more often
the appliance is cleaned, the longer the porous surfaces
will retain their cleaning capability. You can clean your
appliance at any time needed using the Ecolytic Clean
function.
