CARE AND CLEANING
The oven should be turned off and cooled before cleaning.
The oven cavity is made of stainless steel and should be cleaned with a detergent such as fantastik®, Soft Scrub® or MR.
Clean®. After convection cooking in particular, the interior of the oven may be stained with spattered oil. It is recom­
mended that the oven be cleaned each time after use before the oil spatters harden and become difficult to remove. Do
not use rough or scratchy pads or cleaners.
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease
build-up. Wipe both often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never use rough powders or pads.
If the control panel becomes wet, clean with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on control panel.
Avoid the use of excess water. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally
turning on. After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR. This will clear any entries that might have been
entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.
REMOVABLE PARTS
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the metal turntable for cleaning. Wipe up spillovers with paper towel or cloth
before removal of the metal turntable.
NOTE: When metal turntable is removed for cleaning, water or food particles should not be allowed to spill into the
opening in the center of the oven bottom.
• Metal turntable and metal rack should be washed in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are
clean,rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth. Never use rough cleaning powders, steel wool or rough cleaning pads.
NOTE: Cool metal turntable and metal rack completely before washing.
• The roller rest and oven cavity bottom should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the oven bottom surface with mild detergent water and dry.
The roller rest may be washed in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
