Care and Cleaning

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning
later.
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be
sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they
must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed
before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and provide
adequate ventilation.
