Notes:
1.When using the Convection, Grill or cooking in the Combination mode, some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned, occasionally it may start to "smoke" during use. These marks will be more difficult to clean later.
2.After Grill, Combination or Convection cooking the ceiling and walls of the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Particular care should be taken to keep the window area clean particularly after cooking by Grill, Combination or Convection. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount of microwave oven cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. This method cannot be used to clean the oven door.
DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
3.Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDEN- SATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL
