Oven Exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure that the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Control Panel

Open the door before cleaning to inactivate the control panel buttons or electronic timer. Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid the use of excess water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Oven Interior

1)For easy cleaning, wipe any spatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge at the end of each day for hygienic reasons. For heavier spills, use mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed.

Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire, and cause arcing.
