Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your oven.

EcoClean Direct (Rear Wall)

The oven features EcoClean Direct on the rear wall, a special coating that automatically absorbs grease splatters during cooking. This reduces the need for manual cleaning of the rear wall. To maintain its effectiveness, occasionally run the oven at a high temperature (e.g., 240°C for 1 hour) to burn off residues.

General Cleaning

• Oven Interior: For areas without EcoClean coating, clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Oven Door: The glass door can be cleaned with a glass cleaner. For easier cleaning, the inner glass panel can be removed (refer to the full manual for detailed instructions).
• Control Panel: Wipe with a damp cloth. The retractable push-pull handles facilitate easier cleaning of the front panel.
• Accessories: Wash baking trays and racks in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your oven, consult the following common troubleshooting tips before contacting customer service.

• Oven not heating: Check if the oven is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker has tripped. Ensure the correct function and temperature are selected.
• Uneven cooking: Ensure food is placed centrally and that the correct heating function (e.g., 3D Hotair) is selected for multi-level cooking. Avoid overcrowding the oven.
• Display not working: Check power supply. If the display shows an error code, refer to the comprehensive manual for specific code meanings.
• Smoke or odor during first use: This is normal due to manufacturing residues burning off. Ensure good ventilation.
