Maintenance Features

Cleaning:

General Cleaning: Clean the oven front, door gasket, and cavity with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Use a cleaning solution for metal surfaces.
Everyday Use: Clean the cavity after each use to prevent fat accumulation. Dry the cavity with a soft cloth after use.
Accessories: Clean all accessories after each use with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp-edged objects on non-stick accessories. Do not clean accessories in a dishwasher.
Aqua Clean Function: This function uses humidity to remove fat and food particles. Pour 150 ml of water into the cavity embossment, set the temperature to 90 °C, and let the oven work for 30 minutes. After cooling, dry the cavity with a soft cloth.
