heat improperly. (The sensor is Iocated at the top of
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor

oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
