Care And Cleaning; Cleaning Agents - Siemens HD721210 Instruction Manual

Care and cleaning

With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain
its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We
will explain here how you should care for and clean them
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 operation. 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.
Clean with some washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.
Enamel surfaces and
lacquered surfaces
Clean with the hard side of a scouring sponge and some liquid scouring agent. After cleaning, switch the

hob on briefly to dry it. Wet hobs rust over time. Then apply a care product. Always remove spilt liquids and
food residues immediately.
The metal ring may discolour over time. However, it is possible restore the original colour. Clean the ring

Accessories
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
1.
compartment thoroughly.
Set 3D hot air.
:
2.
With the door closed, heat up the empty oven for
3.
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.

Cleaning agents

Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
Do not use
for the hob
undiluted washing-up liquid or dishwasher detergent
■
abrasive materials, scouring sponges
■
aggressive cleaners such as oven spray or stain removers
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
■
Do not use
for the oven
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■
cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol
■
hard scouring pads and sponges
■
high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
■
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
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.
