CLEANING AND CARE
CLEAN THE OVEN REGULARLY. Spatters and
residue remaining from prolonged use, especially at
high temperatures, are hard to clean and may interfere
with good oven operation as well as decrease the
useful life of the oven.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
•DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD IF POSSIBLE.
ALLOW THE OVEN TO COOL BEFORE
CLEANING.
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS OR HARSH
SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.
Oven Cleaning - Exterior
Prepare a solution of mild soap and water, immerse a
soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring dry.
Wipe exterior. Do not use any type of harsh abrasive
cleaner. Rinse cloth or sponge in warm water and wring
dry. Wipe exterior again and polish dry.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier
to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth.
Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as
they may stain, streak or dull the door surface. When
cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together
on closing the door, use only mild, non abrasive soaps,
or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If
the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door
before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not
scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the
door and press Stop/Clear.
Oven Cleaning - Interior
STEAM CLEAN
The Steam Clean function helps to loosen any grease,
oil or food residue. The steam will make the oven easy
to clean; however, it is not a self-cleaning function. It will
take approximately 20 minutes for the cleaning cycle.
PREPARATION
1. Make sure that the reservoir is filled with fresh cold
tap water and is installed. (See page 13.)
2. Make sure that the empty drip tray is installed. (See
page 13.)
Allow the oven to cool to prevent burns. Then open the
door and remove any residue carefully with soft, damp
cloth. Finally, remove and empty the reservoir. Wait a
few minutes, then empty the drip tray.
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and
warm water.
1. After every use while the oven is still warm, wipe
spatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS
OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild
soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Carry out Steam
Clean function to clean thoroughly.
2. The cleaning cloth or sponge must be wrung dry to
prevent moisture or residue from entering the oven
vents.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Any remaining food or fat could cause smoke or an
unpleasant smell. It is a good idea to heat the oven
with SuperSteam Convection Broil in manual
operation for 20 minutes without preheat and food to
remove any fat or residue from the interior ducts and
heaters and unpleasant smell. See CLEAN THE
OVEN BEFORE FIRST USE on page 16
