Cleaning the Interior (cont.)
Door Gasket (Seal)
warning
take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.
rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal
required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.
clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap. Do not scrub it or it will become
damaged.
Oven Racks
caution
to prevent damage, do not self-clean the oven racks.
to clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent
and hot water. when you need to clean heavy soil, use a
scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. you
may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to 2 gal-
lons of water.
Meat Probe
warning
•
To prevent damage, do not immerse the meat probe in water.
•
The meat probe will not function properly if the plug the
connects to the oven is wet.
the meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire,
a plug and a stainless steel skewer. to clean the skewer,
use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. when you clean
the handles, wipe them with a soft sponge soaked with a
solution of detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly.
Broil Pan
Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you
clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. if your
broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty
of water. rinse it well after cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
Optional Roast/Broil Pan with “V” Shaped
Rack
Your roast/broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When
you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. if
your roast/broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad
and plenty of water. rinse it well after cleaning.
The optional “V” shaped rack and grill are finished with an
excalibur nonstick coating. when you clean it, use a mild
solution of detergent and warm water. use the soft side of
a sponge to scrub it and dry it with a lint-free cloth.
Optional Baking Stone
wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub
it clean before you use it for the first time. Do not use
any soap or detergents to wash the stone. the stone is
porous and soap will get trapped inside. the trapped soap
will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Don’t be
alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for
a while. stains do not affect the stone’s ability to bake
properly.
when you need to remove large food particles from the
baking stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. if there
is a lot of oil build-up, it may smoke and create odors. if
you need to remove the oily build up, use a scouring pad
or brush to remove it. you may also use a paste of baking
soda and water to scrub off small stains.
Optional Cookie Sheets
clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solu-
tion of detergent and warm water. since aluminum can
scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. a way
for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment
paper over the cooking surface during baking. the parch-
ment paper will also prevent food from sticking.
