OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
Slight differences in color on the front of the appliance are
determined by the different materials used, such as glass, plastic
and metal.
Cleaning Method:
■ Clean with a damp cloth. If the exterior is heavily soiled, add a
few drops of liquid detergent to the water. Wipe with a dry
cloth.
■ Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaners, which dull the
surface. In the event that one of these products comes into
contact with the oven, immediately clean it using a damp
cloth.
OVEN CAVITY
■
Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. To avoid
buildup of baked-on food residue, clean the oven cavity after
every use.
■ With long cooking times or when cooking on different levels,
especially food with a high water content (pizzas, stuffed
vegetables, etc.) moisture may form on the inside of the door
and the seal. When the oven is cool, dry the inside of the door
with a cloth or sponge.
■
Clean the glass of the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
■ For easier cleaning, the oven door may be removed.
To clean oven cavity surfaces:
To avoid damage to oven cavity surfaces, do not use soap-filled
scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning Method:
■ To clean the oven cavity surfaces, remove the rack guides
and continuous-clean panels:
Lift the rack guides up to remove from the bottom retaining
holes. The rack guides and continuous-clean panels will drop
down out of the top retaining holes to allow removal.
■ Use oven cleaner and follow product label instructions.
To clean continuous-clean side and rear panels:
IMPORTANT: Do not clean the continuous-clean panels and rear
cavity with abrasive products, rough brushes, scouring pads, or
oven cleaner sprays, as they will lose their cleaning properties.
Cleaning Method:
1. Check that the oven is empty. Remove all cookware,
bakeware and oven racks and any foil from the oven.
2. Heat the oven to 390°F (200°C) and maintain this temperature
for about an hour.
3. When the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, use a
damp sponge to remove any food residues.
BROILER PAN AND GRID (on some models)

■ Solution of
¹₂

pad.
