Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, ensure the oven is turned off by removing the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the oven and all accessories to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

The outer surface of the appliance, the door, interior, drip tray and other accessories should all be cleaned after each use.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads or abrasive materials.

Wipe the outer surface with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleaner or mild spray solution may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleaner to the sponge, not the appliance surface, before cleaning.

To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or metal scouring pad.

Wipe the control panel with a soft damp cloth.

The walls on the inside of the oven feature a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. To clean any splattering that may occur while cooking, wipe the walls with a soft, damp sponge. Avoid touching the heating elements.

To remove baked-on grease from the accessories or drip tray, soak the item in warm soapy water then wash with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

To extend the life of your accessories, we do not recommend that these be placed in the dishwasher.

Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the appliance on.
