Care and Cleaning

Clean oven frequently to maximize oven life, performance,
and efficiency. A dirty oven cooks inefficiently because
moisture, spills, and grease absorb convection and
microwave energy.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, unplug power cord or open
circuit breaker to oven before cleaning.
To prevent personal injury, handle
utensils, racks, and door with care.
Utensils, racks, and door may
become hot during operation.

Caution

Cleaning Oven Exterior

Clean door and other exterior surfaces with a clean cloth,
sponge, or nylon pad, and mild detergent diluted in warm
water. Use commercial degreasers if heavily soiled.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners, or cleaners
containing ammonia.
• Do not use water pressure type cleaning systems.
• Remove excess water from cloth before wiping

Cleaning Oven Cavity

Remove racks and rack hooks for best results. Clean
oven cavity with oven and grill cleaner. Repeat cleaning
several times if necessary. Wipe interior with damp,
clean cloth or sponge thoroughly and dry after cleaning.
• Spray on damp cloth or sponge before applying
to oven surfaces. If cleaners are sprayed into oven
cavity, cleaner can become trapped behind rear
wall and create unpleasant odor.
• Wear long rubber gloves when cleaning equipment.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions on use of
cleaners.
• Do not use knife, metal utensil, or abrasive
cleaning pad to remove baked on material.

Oven Racks and Rack Hooks

Clean oven racks and rack hooks with detergent diluted in
warm water or in dishwasher. Scrub with soft nylon pad to
remove baked on material. Do not soak rack hooks for an
extended period of time.

Replace broken oven rack hook immediately.
