General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside
surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. To avoid
breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner
door glass before it has completely cooled.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.

be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.

pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate

other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
