For general
cleaning,
use a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent
& water

Glass cleaners
may be used if sprayed
on a soft cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly
on the
control pad and display areas.
DO NOT use large amounts
of water
on the control panel - excess
water
on the control area may cause damage
to the appliance.
DO NOT use other liquid
cleaners,
abrasive
cleaners,
scouring
pads, or some paper towels - they will damage
the finish.

following
the cleaner's
recommendations.
Rinse with clean water
&
let dry. After cleaning
the racks,
rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing
a
small amount
of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
