Maintenance
Caution
Make no attempt to service or repair a VWR product under
warranty before consulting your distributor. After the warranty period,
such consultation is still advised, especially when the repair may be
technically sophisticated or difficult.
If assistance is needed beyond what the distributor can provide, please call
the Technical Services department. No merchandise, however should be
returned without prior approval.
Caution
Disconnect plug from electrical outlet before attempting any
maintenance or repair of this unit.

Wash the cabinet with a solution of water and mild soap or detergent to
clean off surface dirt, marks or smudges. Keep the vents clear of dust for
free air circulation. This will add to the service life of components.
Clean up spills inside the chamber as soon as possible to prevent them
from being baked on. When the oven is cool, use hot soapy water and a
soft cloth to clean the #304 stainless steel chamber. Do not use scouring
pads with metallic content, chlorine bleach or halogen-based cleaners.
The aluminum shelf assembly should be washed with a mild soap and
water. Do not use abrasive or halogen-based cleaners. They will damage
the finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Wipe interior glass with an ammonia-based glass cleaner and a soft, lint-
free cloth.
Clean exterior safety shield with a solution of mild soap and water using
soft lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or other strong solutions.
They will harm surface of the safety shield and reduce clarity.
Apply a high-quality vacuum grease to the door gasket frequently,
especially before initiating a vacuum, after shutdown, or if the oven is not
expected to be used in the near future.
