The oven frame and door, outside the oven seals,
should be cleaned by hand. Enameled surfaces should
be cleaned with hot soapy water. See Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will permanently scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe the
surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
Never fully cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive
cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove
soap before self-cleaning.
