Cleaning and Maintaining Your Oven

Cleaning the Accessories

IMPORTANT: You must remove all accessories from the oven during the self-clean cycle. If you leave accessories in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor and/or become permanently damaged. Racks will become difficult to slide.

Oven Racks

•To clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. You may also use a solution of 1 cup of ammonia to 2 gallons of water.

Meat Probe

IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the meat probe in water. It will become damaged.

•The meat probe is constructed of vinyl handles, a wire, a plug, and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer, use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. When you clean the handles, wipe with soft sponge soaked with a solution of detergent and warm water.

Broil Pan

•Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty of water. Rinse it well after cleaning.

Optional Roast/Broil Pan with V-shaped Rack

•Your roast/broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your roast/broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad and plenty of water. Rinse it well after cleaning.

•The optional V-shaped rack is finished with an Excalibur non-stick coating. When you clean it, use a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Use the side of a sponge to scrub it and dry it with a lint-free cloth.

Optional Baking Stone

•Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub it clean before you use it for the first time. Do not use any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The stone is porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Don’t be alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for a while. Stains do not affect the stone's ability to bake properly.

•When you need to remove large food particles from the baking stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. If there is a lot of oil build-up, it may smoke and create odors. If you need to remove the oily build up, use a scouring pad or brush to remove it. You may also use a paste of baking soda and wa- ter to scrub small stained spots off.

Optional Cookie Sheets

•Clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solution of detergent and warm water. Since alu- minum can scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. A way for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment paper over the cooking surface during baking. The parchment paper will also prevent food from sticking.
