Cl eani ng With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain
its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long
time to come. We will explain here how you should
correctly care for and clean your appliance.
:Warning – Risk of short circuit!
Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
to clean your appliance.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage
Do not use
■harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■oven cleaners
■corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those
containing chlorine
■cleaning agents with a high alcohol content
If such an agent comes into contact with the front of the
appliance, wash it off immediately with water.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage
If descaler comes into contact with the front of the
appliance or any other sensitive surfaces, wash it off
immediately with water.
Remove food residues from the cooking compartment
as soon as the appliance has cooled.
Salts are very corrosive and can cause rust. Remove
remains of acidic sauces (ketchup, mustard) or salted
food from the cooking compartment immediately after
cooling.
Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
cleaning agents
Cleaning sponge
The enclosed cleaning sponge is very absorbent. Use
the cleaning sponge only for cleaning the cooking
compartment and for removing residual water from the
evaporator dish.
Wash the cleaning sponge thoroughly before using for
the first time. You can wash the cleaning sponge in the
washing machine (hot wash).
Microfibre cloth
The honeycomb microfibre cloth is particularly suitable
for cleaning sensitive surfaces such as glass, glass
ceramic, stainless steel or aluminium (product
no. 460 770, also available from our online eShop). It
removes liquid and greasy deposits in one go.
Appliance exterior (with aluminium front) Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
Mild window cleaning agent - wipe over the aluminium front horizontally and without applying pres-
sure using a soft window cloth or a lint-free microfibre cloth.
Appliance exterior (with stainless steel front) Use soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Spe-
cial stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained from the after-sales service or from specialist
retailers.
Cooking compartment interior with evaporator
dish
Hot, soapy water or a vinegar solution use the enclosed cleaning sponge or a soft washing-up
brush.
Caution!
The cooking compartment could rust.
Do not use steel pads or scourers.
Water tank Soapy water - do not clean in the dishwasher.
Tank recess Rub dry after every use
Seal in the water tank lid Thoroughly dry after every use
Rails See section: Cleaning the rails

Descaling
The appliance must be descaled regularly in order for it
to continue operating correctly.
There are several steps in the descaling programme.
For hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must
be run through completely so that the appliance can be
ready for operation again.
■Descale (approx. 30 minutes), then empty the
evaporator dish and refill the water tank
■First rinsing cycle (20 seconds), then empty the
evaporator dish
■Second rinsing cycle (20 seconds), then remove the
remaining water
If descaling is interrupted (for example, due to a power
failure or because the appliance is switched off), you
are prompted to continue with the descaling
programme after the appliance is switched back on.
The frequency with which the appliance must be
descaled depends on the hardness of the water used.
When only five more steam-assisted operations are
possible, or fewer, the appliance reminds you to
descale it with a message on the display. The number
of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance
is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Starting
Caution!
■Risk of damage to the appliance: Only use liquid
descalers recommended by us for the descaling
programme. The time the product needs to work
during descaling depends on the type of descaler
