panel or display window. Be careful not to use excessive amounts of water. Do not use abrasives of any
kind on the control panel.

not use cold cleaner or cloth to clean a hot oven door glass for it can shatter.
DO NOT CLEAN THE DOOR GASKET!
Be careful not to abuse the door gasket in any
way by cleaning, rubbing, removing, and etc., which
may damage it. A good seal is necessary for
energy efficient and accurate cooking results. If
you notice the gasket becoming frayed, worn or
damaged in any way you should have it replaced
by a DCS approved Service Technician.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
STAINLESS STEEL FINISH
When cool, the appliance can be cleaned with hot
soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine
with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first,
as it is the mildest form of cleaning.
1. Some brands of cleaners of the same type are harsher than others. Read their instructions. A
scent or a propellant can make a difference in the product, read the ingredients.Try on a small
inconspicuous area first.
2. To avoid marring the surface always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines.The
cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
3. Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic non-metal soap pads for cleaning or
scouring, use only soap pads with soap still in them, a dry pad can scratch the surface.
4. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.
