Care and Cleaning
WARNING
Allow oven to cool completely and unplug the appliance prior to cleaning or servicing the oven.
Cleaning the Oven Exterior
Clean the oven exterior with a sponge or soft cloth and soapy water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as alcohol,
bleach, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the finish. To avoid scratching or marring the outside surfaces, do not scrub
the appliance with a metal or nylon brush.
Cleaning the Oven Interior
Remove all accessories from the oven. Wipe the walls of the oven cavity with sponge or soft cloth and warm water. If the
interior is severely stained or dirty, use a towel saturated with a diluted solution of a mild dishwashing liquid.
To avoid damage, do not attempt to clean the heating elements. Any food that comes into contact with the elements will be
burned off when the oven is heated.
Cleaning the Crumb Tray
Remove the crumb tray and discard of any crumbs or oils present on the tray. Wipe the tray with a sponge and soapy water.
Do not place the crumb tray in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Accessories
The included accessories may be placed in a dishwasher. However, to prolong the life and appearance of the accessories, it
is recommended to clean them by hand. Use a sponge and soapy water to thoroughly clean the rack, basket, or pans. A soft
polyester or nylon pad may be used to remove stubborn spots.
