Oven

• Use detergent and hot water (and household ammonia/
cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.

dish containing ¼ cup (62mL) household ammonia/cloudy
ammonia and ¾ cup (187mL) water in the oven. Heat

pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate
for 30 seconds to dry surface.
