CAUTION: Before cleaning any part of the oven, always set the timer control and
heat selector to “OFF”, unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and allow the oven
to cool completely.

To keep your countertop oven clean, wipe away food spills, spatters and crumbs
after each use.

1. The oven rack, drip pan, broil grid and crumb tray may be washed in warm,

soapy water with a dishcloth, rinsed and dried or in an automatic dishwasher.
Do not use any metal or abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on these parts as
damage to the finish may occur.

2. Wipe the exterior of the oven and glass door with a soft, damp cloth and dry. Do

not use any type of scouring pad or cleaner on the exterior surfaces or the glass
door as scratching will occur. If glass is scratched, it can weaken and shatter.

3. Wipe the interior of the oven with a damp cloth, wipe clean and dry. Do not use

any metal or abrasive scouring pads, cleaners or oven cleaner on the inside of
the oven, as damage will occur. Be careful when wiping around the heating
elements to prevent damage.
