Care and Cleaning
After the self clean cycle is complete:
•The door latch will release when the inside has cooled down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON” will disap- pear from the display. Exercise caution because the oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the door lock is released.
•Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before using your oven.
•You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the oven cools down.

Cleaning the Cooktop Glass
warning
•Be sure all surfaces are cool before cleaning the cooktop.
•Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be hazardous. Heating the cleaner can also chemically attack and damage the surface. Use only the included razor blade scraper when the cooking surface is hot.
Clean the cooking surface daily. The cooking surface must be completely cool during cleaning, except when using the included razor blade scraper. Use the razor blade scraper to remove dryed sugar, sugar syrups, tomato products and milk.

Use a clean cloth and apply cooktop cleaning crème to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.
