Cleaning and care

To dismantle the oven door

The oven door is made up of four panes of glass and has vents at the top and bottom.

When the oven is operating, air is circulated through the door to keep the outer pane cool.

If condensate has worked its way in between the glass panes, the door can be dismantled in order to clean in between the panes.

Always remove the oven door before dismantling it.

^ Place the door on a protective surface (e.g. on a table cloth) to prevent it getting scratched. The door handle should line up with the edge of the table. Make sure the glass lies flat and does not get broken during cleaning.

When cleaning the glass panes please follow the same instructions given for cleaning the appliance front.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, sponges or brushes, as these can scratch the surface.

Scratches can also cause the glass to break.

Do not use an oven spray. This will damage the surface of the aluminium surrounds.

^ Flip the glass pane retainers outwards to open them.

Ensure that the glass panes are inserted the correct way round after cleaning, as each side of the pane has a different coating. Those facing the oven interior reflect the heat.

To avoid the risk of breakage, it is advisable to place the panes on a table protected by a soft cloth (e.g.

a towel).

^ Clean the glass panes and other components with a Miele E-cloth or a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

The two middle panes are identical.
