Exterior surfaces

Important: The oven top surface gets hot. Be sure the oven has cooled completely before cleaning.

Wipe the top and exterior walls with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF YOUR OVEN

Heat oven to 200°F; turn oven off (0). Place shallow glass bowl containing ½ cup ammonia on rack. Close oven door and let stand overnight. Next day, open oven, remove bowl and wipe interior of oven with moist paper towels.

To refresh air inside oven, lay strips of orange or lemon peel on rack. Heat oven to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and let stand until oven is completely cool. Remove peel.

Note: We strongly recommend that the bake pan/drip tray and the broil rack be washed by hand with warm sudsy water, as opposed to washing in the dishwasher. Washing these pieces in the dishwasher will cause them to discolor, but will not affect their functionality.
