Care and Cleaning
Clean oven frequently to maximize oven life,
performance, and efficiency. A dirty oven cooks
inefficiently because moisture, spills, and grease absorb
convection and microwave energy.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock which can cause
severe personal injury or death, disconnect
power to appliance before cleaning.
To prevent personal injury, handle
utensils, racks, and door with care.
Utensils, racks, and door may become
hot during operation.
