CARE AND CLEANING

Keep your oven clean and sweet- smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

Don’t use sharp-edged utensils on your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE.

Special note when using Brown ’N Sear Dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ’N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven tray. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon Ami® brand cleanser.

After using Bon Ami® brand cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use Bon Ami® brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such as the walls. It may scratch the paint.

Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.

Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry or wash in dishwasher.

Shelf. Clean the shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

Broiler Pan (Spatter Shield and Drip Pan).

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the spatter shield from the drip pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the drip pan into a proper container. Wash; scour if necessary with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, in hot, soapy water. Rinse the drip pan and spatter shield in hot water. If food has burned on, sprinkle the spatter shield while hot with detergent and cover with wet paper towels or a dish cloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while the meal is being served. The drip pan and spatter shield may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
