of movement, then wipe off excess oil.

Maintenance

Oven Window

To protect the oven door window:

1.Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they may scratch the glass.

2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or other objects.

3.Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in place.

Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later date.
