Bosch Appliances Oven HBA36B6.0W User Manual

Care and cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and

fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain

how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.

Notes

■

Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are

caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,

plastic and metal.

■

Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are

caused by reflections made by the oven light.

■

Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can

cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does

not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be

completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be

rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using

the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.

Do not use

■

sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,

■

cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,

■

hard scouring pads or sponges,

■

high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking

compartment
The back wall in the cooking compartment is coated with a

highly porous ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and

disintegrates splashes from baking and roasting while the oven

is in operation. The higher the temperature and the longer the

oven is in operation, the better the result will be.
If splashes are still visible even after repeated use, proceed as

follows:

Clean the floor, ceiling and side panels of the cooking

compartment thoroughly.

Set

3D hot air.

With the door closed, heat up the empty oven for

approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.

The ceramic coating is regenerated. When the cooking

compartment has cooled down, remove the brown or white

residue with water and a soft sponge.

Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic

self-cleaning.
If you buy the "self-cleaning ceiling and side panels" optional

accessory at a later stage, you can regenerate the self-cleaning

surfaces with the cleaning system. For this, please see the

Cleaning system section.

Caution!

■

Never use abrasive cleaning agents. You will scratch or

destroy the highly porous coating.

■

Never treat the ceramic coating with oven cleaner. If oven

cleaner accidentally gets onto it, remove it immediately with a

sponge and plenty of water.

Cleaning the cooking compartment floor, ceiling and side

walls
Use a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
If there are heavy deposits of dirt, use a stainless steel scouring

pad or oven cleaner. Only use when the cooking compartment

is cold. Never treat the self-cleaning surfaces with a scouring

pad or oven cleaner.

Detaching and refitting the rails

The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have

cooled down.

Detaching the rails

Lift up the front of the rail

and unhook it (figure A).

Then pull the whole rail forward

and remove it (Fig. B).

Clean the rails with cleaning agent and a sponge. For stubborn

deposits of dirt, use a brush.
