Caring for Your Oven
Your oven is designed for easy care.
You can do most cleaning with items found
around your home. Cleaning your oven
whenever spills or soiling occurs will help
to keep it looking and operating like new.
^WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and
the oven is cool before cleaning.
Failure to do so could result in electri­
cal shock or burns.
