for further instructions. 
 
1. Cleaning and maintenance 

Proper cleaning and care of your appliance is essential to maintain its appearance and durability. 
 

 NOTE:

People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. It is 
recommended that protective gloves be worn while cleaning the appliance. Routine cleaning of 
the appliance should only be performed when the appliance is at room temperature. 
 

Do not use any acid or caustic cleaners, abrasive powders or scourers on the interior or 
exterior of the appliance. 

Substances or items with these properties may discolor or damage 

the finishes of your appliance. If any abrasive, acidic or caustic substance or cleaning agent 
should come into contact with the appliance, rinse off immediately with water, taking special care 
to avoid injury if surfaces are hot. 
 
When using the appliance, it may be soiled by food spills and spatters or foreign items such as 
plastics accidentally coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces. Foods which contain acidic 
substances or sugar can discolor or damage enamel finishes. 
 
The enamel interior of the oven is a hard durable finish which is resistant to wear and 
discoloration. However, to maintain the appearance and durability of the finish any spills must be 
wiped off immediately. This should be done even if still hot and necessary precaution must be 
taken to avoid injury. Once cool the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed using 
non-abrasive, mild cleaning detergents and water. 

 
2. Care for stainless steel 

No metal is indestructible and certain procedures should be followed to maintain the finish and 
durability of stainless steel. 
 
Never leave stainless steel items unwashed. The surface responds best to gentle cleaning 
methods, scouring materials and harsh abrasives should not be used. Frequent washing with 
water (preferably hot) is the recommended treatment, followed by rinsing with fresh clean water 
and wiping dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. 
A little soap or detergent may be added to the washing water but too much can produce a cloudy 
film over the appliance. Use of steel wool is not recommended but stainless steel wool (a fine 
mesh pad) is an excellent cleaning aid. Oil or grease in the washing water can leave a rainbow 
film when it dries. It can easily be removed by simply using polishing and cleaning methods 
described previously. Thoroughly rinsing with clean water is the real secret and it a surprise how 
easily stainless steel can be kept sparkling clean by using the above simple method.  
 
Never leave stainless steel to dry by itself.

 
3. Only place cookware on oven shelves

. 

Other surfaces such as trims are not totally resistant to hard materials or direct heat and may be 
permanently damaged by such use.
