CombairSteamer care: Cleaning your oven with steam

Preserve the performance and appearance of your appliance with a few simple routines. Regular cleaning and care ensure a consistently excellent cooking experience.

Cleaning and caring for the exterior glass surfaces

To preserve the pristine look of your appliance, clean the exterior glass and display after each use. Take a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent and wipe thoroughly. Then dry with a clean, lint-free cloth for a streak-free shine.

Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh cleaning agents, especially acidic or alkaline products, as they may damage or dull the glass surface. Gentle care keeps your appliance looking like new for years to come.

For added convenience, you can activate the display lock to prevent accidental input while wiping the surface. This ensures safe, uninterrupted cleaning without unintended alterations to your appliance’s settings.

Cleaning and caring for your oven with steam cavity

Regular cleaning of the oven with steam’s interior helps preserve both its performance and appearance. Just a quick wipe after use can prevent buildup over time. Discover simple tips that make care effortless and effective.

Quick daily cleaning

Once the appliance has cooled to merely warm to the touch, wipe away any condensation with a soft cloth. After baking, remove crumbs and small spills using a cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent. Finish by gently wiping the cavity dry.

Light residue removal

For lightly baked-on residue, use the “Steam Cleaning” function or manually steam at 80 °C for 20 minutes. Remove the shelves to access the sidewalls, place them on the bottom of the cavity. Wipe away any residue and moisture, then either dry with a cloth or run hot air at 100 °C for 10 minutes.

Removing stubborn residue

If persistent stains remain, use a suitable oven cleaner and carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Then run a steam cycle at 100 °C for 15 minutes and wipe dry with a soft cloth. This helps remove any remaining cleaning product and protects the cavity’s non-stick coating.

Lemon steam refresh

Wipe away any loose crumbs and place an ovenproof bowl with the juice of two lemons inside the cavity. Fill the bowl halfway with boiling water and steam at 100 °C for 20 minutes. Allow it to cool, then clean the interior with a damp cloth and wipe dry.

Cleaning the shelf guides

The oven’s shelf guides can be removed for convenient, thorough cleaning. There is no need to memorise their exact position, as they are designed to fit only one way and can be reinserted effortlessly, with no risk of incorrect placement.

Remove the appliance door for full access

Removing the appliance door allows unrestricted access to areas that are typically hard to reach, for instance, the space between the door and cavity. It also simplifies cleaning inside the door and between the glass panes for a truly thorough clean.

Prepare the area

Before removing the appliance door, place a clean towel on a stable and large enough surface nearby, such as a table or worktop. This protects both your appliance and the surrounding surfaces during handling.

Tool-free removal

To remove the appliance door, start by opening it fully. Flip the small latches on both hinges forward. Then, close the door to the venting position (about 30°). Grip the door firmly with both hands and lift it out smoothly, at an angle.

Careful positioning

Place the door with the handle facing down onto the towel, extending slightly past the edge of the surface. This provides stability and makes the glass panel easy to remove and handle safely.

Descaling your appliance

Regular descaling extends the life of your appliance. Your appliance will notify you when a descaling cycle is due according to the settings of the water hardness selected. Always use Durgol Swiss Steamer and avoid vinegar or lemon juice, as they may cause damage to the internal components. The descaling cycle takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Water type recommendations

Do not use distilled or demineralised water, as these lack the minerals required for proper steam generation and sensor function. If necessary, opt for filtered or softened water instead. For systems using salt-based softeners, descaling is still required at least every two years, even if no reminder appears.
