The Steam Cleaning self-cleaning function on your AEG steam oven effectively cleans your oven for you. Effortlessly keep your oven clean by regularly running the Steam Cleaning programme.
Different oven models may contain different cleaning functions to facilitate the cleaning task. Refer to your oven manual to explore which functions you have to make cleaning your oven easier.
What is Steam Cleaning and why should you use it?
Steam Cleaning is a self-cleaning function that comes with all our steam ovens. The steam softens the grease or residue, making it easier to clean your oven. There are two different steam cleaning programmes, depending on your needs – light cleaning or heavier cleaning.
Steam cleaning regularly is an excellent way to maintain the inside of your oven, as it helps lift food splatters from the oven surface. Additionally, steam cleaning is gentle on the environment since it uses decidedly less energy than other cleaning programs. This is because the steam cleaning cycle doesn’t need to run on extremely high heat for long durations.
All AEG ovens with Steam Cleaning have built-in reminders to let you know when cleaning is necessary for continued optimal performance. The reminders can be enabled and disabled in the settings menu.
