CARE AND CLEANING
An occasional thorough wiping
with a solution of baking soda and

on your oven. The inside and
outside oven walls can be
scratched. The control panel
can be damaged.

How to Clean the Inside
Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed
with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth.
Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse
with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on

with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS
OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL
DAMAGE THE SURFACE.
Special note when using Brown ’N Sear Dish:
If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom
of a Brown ’N Sear dish may cause the grease to
burn onto the oven tray. This may be removed with
a cleanser such as Bon Ami

After using Bon Ami ® brand cleanser, rinse and dry
thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use
Bon Ami
® brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such

Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy,
but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist

Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean,

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.
Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and
wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy
water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord

Stainless Steel (on some models). Do not use a
steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
