CLEANING
WARNING: TURN OVEN OFF AND UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD (IF APPLICABLE) BEFORE CLEANING.
Clean interior and exterior of oven daily with warm water and detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
Oven Inspection Window (Optional)
The oven inspection window may be cleaned with an oven cleaner compound or with a cloth dampened with detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use scouring powder on the window; it will scratch and fog the glass, and it is easy to build up an accumulation of excess scouring powder which is extremely difficult to remove.
Stainless Steel (Optional)
Clean stainless steel with soap or detergent and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Addition of a rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.
Stubborn stains that resist soap and water usually can be removed with a paste of water and mild scouring powder. When applying these powders, be sure to rub in the direction of the polish lines on the steel to preserve the original finish.
Fingerprints on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel can be minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film. Apply cleaner and remove excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually disappear when wiped lightly with a soft dry cloth or with a cloth containing a little of the cleaner. If the surface is especially soiled to start with, wash first with soap or detergent and water.
To remove burned on foods and grease, soak with hot soapy water first. Using stainless steel wool or a sponge, apply a paste of scouring powder and water. Rub in the direction of the polish lines. Do not use ordinary steel wool on stainless steel surfaces. These particles can eventually rust and cause unsightly spots and stains. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
In and around ovens where temperatures reach 500°F or more,
When scraping off heavy deposits of grease or oil from stainless steel equipment, never use ordinary steel scrapers or knives. Particles of ordinary steel may become embedded in, or lodge on, the surface of the stainless steel. These will rust, causing unsightly stains. Where it is necessary to scrape, use stainless steel, wood, plastic or rubber tools.
