Removing and reassembling the shelf guides
▸ Push the shelf guides at the top back-
wards and take out of the opening.
▸ Swing the shelf guide into the middle of
the cooking space and remove from the
opening at the bottom.
▸ Put back in reverse order.
Removing grill/top heat safety guard
▸ Hold both sides and pull forwards.
9.5 Cleaning the cooking space
Damage to the appliance from incorrect treatment!
Do not bend the temperature sensor or heating elements.
Do not scour the surface. Scouring will damage the surface.
▸ Remove any soiling from the cooking space while still hand warm using a soft cloth
dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
▸ The bottom heating element can be raised to make it easier to clean the cooking
space floor. Clean the heating elements with a damp cloth.
9.6 Catalytic self-cleaning
Incorrect handling can result in damage to the appliance!
Do not scour the cooking space. Do not use oven sprays, pastes or household
cleaning agents, as these can destroy the self-cleaning properties!
Depending on the model, the cooking space may have a catalytic self-cleaning coating.
The coating is matt and rough.
The catalytic cleaning process breaks down soiling during normal use at temperatures of
over 200°C.
The self-cleaning process requires oxygen. A soiled catalytic coating should therefore not be covered over.
Preventing crusty deposits
Crusty deposits, e.g. burned-on sauces or sugar, impair the cleaning effect.
26
Page 27
9 Care and maintenance
▸ When grilling: line the original baking tray with aluminium foil and then place it under-
neath the wire shelf.
▸ Use porcelain or glassware for grilling large, bulky food.
▸ Wipe away food spills as soon as possible when still in a liquid form.
▸ Place protective foil between the cooking space floor and the bottom heating element.
Removing crusty deposits
If a crusty deposit forms:
▸ soften crusty deposit with a damp cloth and then dab away.
▸ Use a plastic or wooden spatula to carefully remove any thick, crusty deposits. Soften
any stubborn residue with a damp cloth and then dab away.
Only remove crusty deposits. Any remaining soiling will eventually disappear after
going through the baking and cleaning process a number of times. In the case of
a heavily soiled appliance or after being in use for several years, some stains may
remain.
Heavily soiled cooking space
▸ Heat the empty cooking space using the operating mode at the maximum cooking
space temperature for several hours.

11.2 Cookware
Suitable cookware
Cookware should have a stable bottom. When heated, the base of the cookware must lie
flat on the surface of the cooking zone.
Cookware made of metal is more suitable than that made of glass or ceramic as with
metal the heat is distributed evenly quicker.
Cookware bases made of aluminium or aluminium alloys can leave stubborn abrasion
marks on the glass ceramic surface that are very difficult to remove.
Energy-efficient cooking
Note the following for maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution:
▪ The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
▪ The diameter of the base of the cookware should correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
▪ Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪ Use a well-fitting lid.
▪ Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
11.3 Operating the appliance
The individual cooking zones are all operated in the same way.
Selecting a cooking zone
▸ If the dials are retracted, press in the middle of the dial of the desired cooking zone.
– The dial springs out.
▸ Set the dial to the desired power level.
