Control
panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and
polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
on the control panel—they will damage the
finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot
water works well.
Removable
oven floor
To remove the oven floor:
1 Remove the oven door using the instructions
in the Lift-Off Oven Door section of this
manual.
2 Press down and pull out the removable
oven floor.
3 Clean the oven floor with warm soapy water.
4 When re-installing the oven floor be sure to
slide it all the way to the back of the oven.
CAUTION: Always replace the removable floor
before the next use.
Oven heating
elements
Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will
burn off when the element is heated.
The bake element is not exposed and is under
the removable oven floor. If spillovers, residue
or ash accumulate on the removable oven floor,
wipe up before self-cleaning.
To clean the bake element area, take out the
removable floor (see the Removable Oven Floor
section) and gently lift the bake element. Clean
with warm soapy water. Always replace the
removable floor before next use.
The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow
for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
To clean the inside of the door:
• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, you do not need
to clean this by hand.
• The area outside the gasket and the front
frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel
wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent.
Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean
the glass on the outside of the door. Do not
let water drip into the vent openings.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing acids
may cause discoloration and should be wiped
up immediately. When surface is cool, clean
and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders
or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
