About Your Jenn-Air

Congratulations on your cheice of a Jenn-Air wail oven. Your Jenn-Air convection oven combines the best of two cocking *stheds. convecticn and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting. in a se ‘-teanirg over. ‘Note: Only Models W2450, W2750, WM2750, WVY2460 e-d WW2750 have the convection option.
The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventicral oven chat circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broii heatirs elements cycle an and off with the thermostat, a fan keeps the heated air cireviating around the food. The constantly recirculating heated air in the convecticn oven sirips away the tayer of cooler air that surrounds food. Consequently. any foods cook more quickly, Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack coc<ing possible. Convec- tion roasted meats retain their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant bake roasting.
In addition ta the many exclusive benefits of convecticr cooking, your cven is also a fine full featured “bake and broil” oven.
You can cook your “old favorite” recipes as ycu have .n the past. The radiant bake oven also gives you the flexibility of sreparinc various foods when convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as when ccoking feods in covered casseroles or clay pots.
The broil element is convenient for top browning and oven brailing of foods. The time bake feature can be used with either the convection or radiant bake oven.
Before you begin cooking with your new oven, please tak2 a few minutes to read and become familiar with the instructions in this book. On the following pages you will find a wealth of information regarding allaspects ci using your new oven. By following the instructions carefully, you will be able to cully enjoy and property maintain your oven and achieve excellent resuits with the food you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-A.r oven, write tous. Be sure to provide the model number.

  8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot Surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky  cloth.
  9. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
  10. Donotheat unopened focd containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
  11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
  12. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
  13. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
  14. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven tiner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
  15. Clean only parts listed in this manual.
  16. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other utensils.
  17. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the broil and cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before sell- cleaning again.
  18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns-among these sur- faces are: oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, windows of oven doors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including Carbon Monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle.

    process. Preheat only when necessary. Refer to baking and roasting sections as to when preheating is recommended.

  4. After baking, turn both TEMPERATURE and SELECTOR knobs to OFF position.

Rack Positions
The rack positions noted are generally recommended for the best browning results and most efficient cooking times. For many food items, excellent results can be achieved when using one of several aifterent rack positions. Refer to baking and roasting sections
for recommendations for specific foods.
Different Racks:
One flat rack and one offset rack were packaged with your oven. The use of the offset rack is denoted in the list below and the charts as an “o” after the rack number. Some convection models received a second flat rack to be used for inree rack baking.
Use Rack Position #1:
Large cuts of meat and large poultry, angel food cake, loaves of bread, custard pie, dessert souffle.
Use Rack Position #20 (offset rack on #2):
Roasting smail cuts of meat, loaves of bread, angel food cake.
Use Rack Position #2:
Roasting small cuts of meat, cakes (tube, bundtor layer) frozen fruit pie, pie shell, large casseroles.
Use Rack Position #30 (offset rack on #3):
Most baked goods on cookie sheets, frozen convenience foods. fresh fruit pie, cream pie, layer cakes, main dish souffle.
Use Rack Position #3:
Most baked goods on cookie sheets, cakes (sheet and layer).
Use Rack Position #40 (offset rack on #4):
Most broiling.
Multiple Rack Cooking:
Two racks, use #20 and #4. Three racks, use #1, #30, and #4. (Note: Three rack baking is only possible in a convection oven.)

Baking

JENN-AIR W2720 Self Cleaning Wall Oven - assembly 1 General Baking Recommendations

  • When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking times and temperatures as a guide.
  • Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
  • Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started ina cold oven. Preheating takes from 6 to 9 minutes; place food in oven after BAKE INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off.
  • Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack positions on pages 12 and in various baking chanis.
  • Allow about tolI/2 inches of space between the oven side wal!s and pans to allow proper air circulation.
  • When baking foods in more than one pan, place them on opposite corners of the rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pan does not shield another unless shielding is intended. (See above)
  • Toconserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At the end of cooking, turn oven off before removing food.
  • Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away from pan). Do not rely on time or brownness as only indicators.
  • Use good quality baking pans and the size recommended in the recipe.
  • Dull, dark. enameled or glass pans will generally produce a brown, crisp crust.  Shiny metal pans produce a light, golden crust.
  • Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet on rack 2 or be removed to a dull or glass pan.

NOTE: Acooling fanwill cycle on during baking or roasting. The fan may also continue to operate after the oven is turned off until the oven has coaled dawn.
Baking ChartJENN-AIR W2720 Self Cleaning Wall Oven - assembly
4 An“o’ after a rack number implies that the offset rack should be used.
The times given are based on specific brands of mixes or recipes tested. Actual times will depend on the ones you bake.
The CONVECT temperature is 25°F lower than recommended on package mix or recipe.

Convection Baking Recommendations
Seleeted Models Only:

  • Asageneral rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25°F lower than the recipe recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recommended times. The chart on page 14 compares times and temperatures of many baked foods. Use this as a reference.
  • For better browning, large pans such as cookie sheets or rectangular baking pans should be placed /engthwise, front to back, on the rack . This centers the food in front of the convection fan for better air circulation which gives better overall browning.
  • Cookie sheets should be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The best size to use for cookie sheets is 14″ x 12″ (overall size includes handles).

Convection Baking  of Frozen Convenience Foods ‘Selected Modeis Only:

  • Preheating the oven is not necessary.
  • Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and use of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar. See chart below for some exceptions and examples.
  • Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked or if foods are being baked on muitiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation.
  • Most foods are baked on rack position #30.
  • For multiple rack baking, use racks #1, 30 and 4. However, pizzas should be placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack position #20, 3 and 4.

Here are a few examples of times and temperatures:JENN-AIR W2720 Self
Cleaning Wall Oven - assembly 17 Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks
(Selected Models Only)JENN-AIR W2720 Self Cleaning Wall Oven - assembly

For best results, bake foods on one rack ata time as described in this manual. However, very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks.  Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings.
The convection oven is suggested for most multiple rack cooking, especially three rack cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than radiant.
Fortwo rack cooking, the radiant bake oven provides very good baking results especially when pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes and fresh pies.
Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time. These are just a few examples: cookies, cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pies, frozen convenience foods, pizzas, appetizers, and snack foads.
To obtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:

  • Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.
  • Fortwo rack baking, rack positions #20 and 4 are best for most baked products but positions #2 and 4 also provide acceptable results.
  • Forthree rack baking use positions #1, 30 and 4. One exceptionis pizza. (See page 15.)
  • Since foods on positions #1 and 4 will usuaily be done before foods on position #30, additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle rack. An additional minute is needed for thin foods such as cookies. For foods such as biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes. Frozen pies and pizzas, which should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4 more minutes. ‘
  • Stagger small pans, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.
  • Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack positions #1, 30 and 4.
  • Cookie sheets should be placed lengthwise, front to back. in front of the fan for more even browning.
  • Oven meals are recommended for energy conservation. Use rack positions #1 and 30 or #20 and 4.

Roasting

General Roasting Recommendations

  • Preheating is not necessary.
  • For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the two- piece pan included with the oven. Do not add water to the pan. Use open pan roasting for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be cooked by moist heat in a   covered pan.
  • For best results, a meat thermometer is the mast accurate guide to degree of doneness. The tip of the thermometer should be iccated in the thickest part of a roast, not touching fat, bone, or gristle. For turkeys and large poultry products, insert the tip of the thermometer into the thickest part of the inner thigh.
  • Place roast fat side up to allow seif basting of meat during roasting.
  • Since meats continue to cook after being semoved from the oven, remove roast from oven when it reaches an internal temperature about 5 degrees below the temperature desired.
  • For less loss of juices and easier carving, allow about 15 minutes “standing time” after removing meat from oven.
  • For best results in roasting poultry, thaw completely. Due to the structure of poultry, partially thawed poultry will cook unevenly.

Radiant Bake Roasting Recommendations

  • If preferred tender cuts of meat can be roasted in the sadiant bake oven by foliowing the general recommendations given above. However. meats will roast more quickly in the convection oven.
  • Radiant bake is best for less tender cuts of meat that require a longer, moist heat method of cooking. Follow your recipe for times and temperatures for covered meats.
  • Meats cooked in cooking bags, dutch ovens, or covered roasting pans are best cooked in the radiant bake oven.
  • Use meat roasting charts in standard cookbooks for recommended times and temperatures for roasting in a radiant bake oven.

NOTE: A cooling fan will cycle on during baking and roasting. The fan also continues to operate after the oven is turned off until the oven has cooled down.
Convection Roasting Recommendations
Selected Models only

  • Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be roasted to a rich golden brown in the convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting.
  • Referto convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking temperature and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meai serving time.
  • Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area. Times are based on refrigerator cold meat.
  • Alarge cut of meat will usually require fewer minutes per pound to roast thana smaller cut of meat.
  • Do not use a roasting pan with high sides; use pan provided with oven.
  • Do not cover meat. Allow the circulating hot air to surround the meat and seal in the juices.
  • Since the breast meat on a large turkey cooks more quickly than the thigh area, place a “foil cap” over the breast area after desired brownness is reached to prevent over browning. (See above)
  • Astuffed turkey will require an extra 30 to 60 minutes depending on size. Stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Convection Roasting: Frozen to Finish
Meats (except poultry) may be roasted frozen to finish. Follow these guidelines for the most satisfactory results.

  • Use temperatures for roasting fresh meats as recommended by most cookbooks.
    Generally, most meats are roasted at 325°F. For best results do not use temperatures below 300°F.

  • Use times for roasting fresh meats given in your favorite cookbooks as approximate guides for roasting frozen meats. Roasting times will vary due to factors such as coldness of meat, size, quality. or cut. in general, roasting times for frozen to finish in the convection oven will be approximately the same as fresh to finish ina radiant bake oven.

  • The guidelines given for roasting fresh meats in the convection oven also apply to roasting frozen meats.

  • Insert meat thermometer midway during the cooking process.

Broiling

The broil element pravides flexibility for broiling foods. It you have a Jenn- Air grill, we recommend you use the grill for most of your broiling. There are some types of foods that do require use of the oven broil element. These include foods such as stuffed  lobsters, meringue pies, or other foods which require top browning.
To Broil

  1. Place oven rack on the rack position suggested in the chart. Distance trom broiling element depends on foods being prepared. Rack position #40 (offset rackin position #4) is usually recommended unless otherwise stated.

  2. Turn SELECTOR knob to BROIL setting.

  3. Turn TEMPERATURE knob to 550°F.

  4. Place food on roasting pan provided with oven. After top broil element is red place food in oven. Preheating takes a few minutes, or until element glows a bright cherry red.

  5. Leave oven door open at broil stop position when broiling.

Broiling Tips

  • Tender cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes rib and loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces or fish. For best results, steaks should be at least 1″ thick. Thinner steaks should be pan- broiled.
  • Donot cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings from draining into bottom of pan.
  • Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking.
  • To prevent dry surface on fish or lean meats, brush melted butter on top.
  • Foods that require turning should be turned only once during broiling. Turn meat with tongs to avoid piercing and loss of juices.
  • Cooking times given in the chart are to be used only as a guide.
  • Theovenhasa variable broil feature which means that the broiling temperature can be varied by selecting a lower temperature setting on the TEMPERATURE knob.
    Using a lower temperature setting will cause the broil element to cycle on and off. This feature can be used for foods that need to cook more slowly or need less radiant heat. if foods are broiling too fast, the control can be set ata lower temperature to reduce the cooking speed rather than moving the broiler pan to a lower rack.

NOTE: A tan should come on during the BROIL cycle. If the fan does not operate, contact your authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor for repair.

Oven Cleaning

How the Self Cleaning Process Works
When the oven controls are setto CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures thatare higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent heips to consume
normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening on the top of the control panel.
How to Prepare Oven Before Operating the Self-Cleaning Process.

  • Remove the roasting pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils cannot withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.
  • The oven racks canbe cleanedin the oven. However, the oven racks will discolor, lose shininess, and become difficult to slide in and out if leftin the oven during the cleaning process. REMOVE RACKS FROM OVEN iF THIS DISCOLORATION WILL BE OBJECTIONABLE. Asa suggestion, do not leave the racks in the oven during each self-cleaning process if they do not need to be cleaned since they will discolor to a dull silver after many cleanings. Moderately soiled racks can be cleaned with a soapy $.0.S. pad or Scotch-Brite scour-pad. Stubborn stains  need to be removediin the self-cleaning process. Be sure to read special tips on page 27 if oven racks are cleaned during the self-cleaning process.
  • Clean spatters and spills from those areas whicn will not be cleaned during the self-cleaning process:
    – center front of oven and door near opening in door gasket.
    – porcelain oven door liner (area outside the door gasket).
    – oven front frame.

NOTE:Do NOT CLEAN serial plate located on the oven front.
To clean these areas, use hot water and detergent, nonabrasive cleansers or soap filled steel wool pads. Rinse thoroughly, being careful not to use an excessive amount of water that would dampen the door gasket. Soi feftin these areas willbe more difficult to remove after the self-cleaning process since the high heat will bake on any soil that is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.

  • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON OVEN DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning will damage the gasket and may affect the seal.
  • Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom of the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in the oven during the cleaning process. For ease of cieaning, the heating element  can be tifted slightly.
  • Although smoke or fire in the ovenis anormal occurrence and there is no safety problem, there will be venting of excessive smoke and odor.

Auto Clean Feature
This model features AUTO CLEAN to simplify cleaning an average soiled oven. To use, merely set SELECTOR and TEMPERATURE knobs toCLEAN, LOCK DOOR, and push ENTER button twice. The oven will clean for 2 1/2 hours (plus cool-down time). Fora
heavily soiled oven or to start cleaning at a later time, refer to section below.
Steps to Follow for Self-Cleaning Process

  1. Close oven door (if opened).
  2. Turn SELECTOR knob to CLEAN.
  3. Turn TEMPERATURE knob fully clockwise to CLEAN untilitcomes toa fullstop. The doorcannot be locked if TEMPERATURE knob is not in the CLEAN position.
  4. Move DOORLOCKLEVER ic the full rignt position.

More Information on the Self-Cleaning Process

  • A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal occurrence. Since the oven ventis located on the top of the control panel, vapors. moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area.

  • During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not removed before the oven was set to clean.

  • SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN WILL GET WARM DURING THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS, AVOID CONTACT.

  • Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film orheavier deposit of ash.
    The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in the oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp sponge. If other dark deposits remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the length of cleaning was not enough. Increase the cleaning time for future cleanings or clean more frequently. The normal cleaning time is 2 1/2 hours. A maximum of 4 hours may be selected if necessary.JENN-AIR W2720 Self Cleaning Wall Oven -

  • If racks have been leftin oven during the cleaning process, they shouldbe treated as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has cooled, buff the underside of rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour-pad or rub fightly the underside of rack edges with a coating of vegetable oil. Use a light application of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion, use fingertips to apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.

  • To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.

  • It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy build- up of soil in the oven.

  • During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.

  • Anyattemptto force the self-ciean DOOR LOCK LEVER to lock or unlock without electric power applied to the door or with the TEMPERATURE knob inany position other than CLEAN may result in damage to the door locking mechanism.

  • DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS IN OR AROUND THE SELF- CLEANING OVEN AREA.

  • DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.

Other Hints on Caring for Your Oven

Cleaning Other Surfaces of Your Oven
Door and control panei trim: The metal trim around the door and the control panel can be cleaned with any nonabrasive cleansers such as Bon-Ami or soapy water, rinse well. Be careful not ta use an excessive amount of water.
Control panel and oven door front: To clean, use any guitable glass cleaner or soapy water. TO prevent moisture from getting behind the control panel, spray a cloth with glass cleaner then wipe the parel.
Control knobs: The knobs on the control panel can be removed with the controlsin the OFF position. Puii each knob straight from the shaft. Wash knobs in warm soapy water or dishwasher, do not use abrasive cleansers or materials. To replace each knob, match flat partot knob opening with the spring on the shaft, retuming in OFF position. Oven Racks
To remove pull forward to the “gtop” position; lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.
Oven Light Bulb
Gefore replacing bulb, disconnect power to oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure that the entire oven cavity including the light butb is cool before attempting to remove.
To replace light bulb:

  1. Carefully remove the glass light ‘ens and lens retainerby removing the two screwsin the light lens retainerusinga phillips screwdriver. Note: The light lensis separate from the lightlens retainer. Thetwo pieces will drop down into your hands at the same time. Do NOT remove the remaining two screws.

  2. Toobtain firm grasp on bulb, wear protective rubber gloves. Remove by turning bulb to the left. Do rot toucha hot oven light bulb witha damp cloth as bulb will break. NOTE: [f the bulb does break and you wish to remove it, be certain power suppiy is disconnected and wear protective gloves. You may contact your authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor for service.

  3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt oven-rated appliance bulb. Bulb with brass base is recommended to prevent fusing of bulb into socket.

  4. Place lightlens inside of lightlens retainer. Hoiding the light lens and lens retainer in place, insert the two screws into the light lens retainer and tighten.

Oven Temperature Knob Adjustment
The oven temperature knob can be adjusted if the oven temperature is too low ortoo high and the length of time to cook ALL foods is too tong or too short. Do NOT adjust the temperature knob if only one or two items are not baking properly.
To adjust the Temperature Knob:
Turn the oven Temperature Knob to OFF. Remove the knob and turn itto the underneath side.
Hold it so that the triangle is at the top. {See Fig. 1) Loosen the two screws slightly. Holding the skirtin place, move the top screw by rotating the knob one notch, as noted by one click, in directionnecessary. If notch indentations not apparent, tighten screws until clicking is heard. There are five notches in each direction. One notch equals approximately 10°F.
JENN-AIR W2720 Self Cleaning Wall Oven - assembly 15 EXAMPLE: If the oven temperature is too cool and ALL foods are requiring a longer time period to. cook, the kncb should be rotated to move the top screw toward the word “HOTTER”. (See Fig 2)
Tighten the screws while tightly holding knob to skirt. To replace knob, match flat part of knob opening with spring on the shaft, returning to OFF position.
IMPORTANT: The oven Temperature Knob should be adjusted one notch and then the oven shauld be tested. (We recommend baking 2–9″ yellow layer cakes using a purchased box mix.)
If the oven temperature is stilltoo low or too high, repeat the procedure described above.
lf the knob is rotated too far or in the wrong direction, rotate the knob in the opposite direction until the center of the screw is directly under the triangle, which is the starting point. Initiate che procedure again untii the desired temperature is reached.
Cleaning the Lower Oven (Model WW2750 Only)
Since the upper oven is self-cleaning, its use is suggested for foods that have a tendency to spatter or spill over. The ‘ower oven porcelain walls and door, which are of the same high quality porcelain as the upper oven, can be wiped clean with soap and water if food is not allowed to bake on a second time. Heavy spattering of spillovers will require cleaning with miid abrasive cleansers such as Bar Keepers Friend, S.0.S. Or Bon Ami. Household ammonia may be used to ioosen soil by placing 1/2 cup household ammonia in a glass dish on oven rack in a clesed, cold oven overnight.

  • To ‘emove difficult stains, use an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off on oven iner, Follow oven cleaner directions. Do not spray electricai controls. temperature sensing buib, door gasket or exterior of oven. Remove oven racks before sprayirg with oven cleaner.
  • For cleaning other areas of the oven, clean oven racks with S.0.S, pads. Oven window may be cleaned with soap and water ora glass cleaner. Be careful nctto soak or rub the oven door gasket.
