Cleaning Daily cleaning of the oven is recommended for hygienic reasons and to avoid interruptions of operation. The design of the HOUNÖ ovens allows quick and easy cleaning. The oven chamber is made of all-welded stainless steel, which makes it splash proof. You will therefore find the easy-to-use handshower (optional extra), which is located under the front panel, very suitable for interior cleaning. The door sealing is easy to remove, which ensures quick and efficient cleaning under and around it.
(A) (B) Cleaning of jet heads The jet head should be dismounted and cleaned regularly according to how often the combi steaming and ClimaOptima modes are used. The easiest way to clean the jet head is to let it soak in scale remover according to requirement. All ovens are supplied with an additional jet head. If the oven is equipped with the automatic cleaning system, CombiWash, there will be two jet heads. The other jet head will be located to the right of or above the first one.
Filter Under the front panel is a filter that should be cleaned on a weekly basis – either manually or automatically. Remember to fit the filter again after cleaning to prevent dirt, soil, etc. from entering the oven. If the filter is not cleaned, the computer may get too hot causing the oven to fail.
