such as rice.
¡ Wipe down the oven using the cleaning sponge and dry
afterwards using a soft cloth.
¡ Use the cleaning sponge only to clean the oven cavity
and to remove any remaining water from the evaporator
dish.
¡ DO NOT USE CHLORINE-BASED CLEANERS.
¡ Always wipe dry immediately to avoid water marks.
¡ Always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish
lines for maximum effectiveness and to avoid marring

Recommendations
¡ Always remove lime deposits, grease, oil,
starch and egg white stains immediately af-
ter the appliance has cooled down.
¡ 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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads,
gritty wash cloths or abrasive paper towels.
¡ NEVER USE STEEL WOOL OR ABRASIVE
PADS! The oven cavity can rust.
¡ If you use an all-purpose cleaner, do not al-
low the oven light, bulb or door gaskets to
come in contact with the cleaner.
¡ Remove all traces of cleaners used in the
oven cavity by carefully following all instruc-
tions for wiping out the oven and running
rinse cycles. Cleaner residues can bond to
the glass in the oven door. They can also
adversely affect the flavor of foods cooked in
the steam oven.
