CLEAN THE OVEN REGULARLY. Spatters and residue remaining from prolonged use, especially at high temperatures, are hard to clean and may interfere with good oven operation as well as decrease the useful life of the oven.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD IF POSSIBLE.

ALLOW THE OVEN TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS OR HARSH SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.

Oven Cleaning - Exterior

Prepare a solution of mild soap and water, immerse a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring dry. Wipe exterior. Do not use any type of harsh abrasive cleaner. Rinse cloth or sponge in warm water and wring dry. Wipe exterior again and polish dry.

Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non abrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press Stop/Clear.

Oven Cleaning - Interior

STEAM CLEAN

The Steam Clean function helps to loosen any grease, oil or food residue. The steam will make the oven easy to clean; however, it is not a self-cleaning function. It will take approximately 20 minutes for the cleaning cycle.

PREPARATION

1.Make sure that the reservoir is filled with fresh cold tap water and is installed. (See page 13.)

2.Make sure that the empty drip tray is installed. (See page 13.)

P R O C E D U R E

1 Press Back/Info, turn the Dial to select STEAM CLEAN and press Enter.

2 Press START.

Allow the oven to cool to prevent burns. Then open the door and remove any residue carefully with soft, damp cloth. Finally, remove and empty the reservoir. Wait a few minutes, then empty the drip tray.

To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water.

1.After every use while the oven is still warm, wipe spatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Carry out Steam Clean function to clean thoroughly.

2.The cleaning cloth or sponge must be wrung dry to prevent moisture or residue from entering the oven vents.

3.Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

4.Any remaining food or fat could cause smoke or an unpleasant smell. It is a good idea to heat the oven with SuperSteam Convection Broil in manual operation for 20 minutes without preheat and food to remove any fat or residue from the interior ducts and heaters and unpleasant smell.
