soap and water. Make sure that the soap is wiped off
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

control panel buttons or electronic timer. Care should
be taken in cleaning the control panel. Using a cloth
dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel
until it becomes clean. Avoid the use of excess water.
Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Oven Interior
1) For easy cleaning, wipe any spatters or spills with
a soft damp cloth or sponge at the end of each day
for hygienic reasons. For heavier spills, use mild
soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth
until all residues are removed.
Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke
or catch fire, and cause arcing.

leave grease or fat in the cavity, it may overheat,
smoke or even catch fire when next using the
