partment is cleaned virtually automatically.
Use the cleaning function to clean the cooking com-
partment every two to three months. The cleaning func-
tion can be used more often, if required. The cleaning
function requires approx. 2.5–4.8 kilowatt hours.

The cleaning function heats up the cooking compart-
ment to a very high temperature so that food left over
from roasting, grilling and baking will burn off. This pro-
cess releases vapours, which can irritate mucous mem-
branes.

function is running.
