CLEANING AND CARE
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS -
Keep the oven clean and remove any food deposits, or
it could lead to deterioration of the surface. This could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
• DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
CLEANING OR LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO
INACTIVATE THE OVEN DURING CLEANING.
• BEFORE CLEANING, MAKE SURE THE OVEN
IS COMPLETE COOL.
• DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS, ABRASIVE,
HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS ON
ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.
• DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.
Oven Cleaning - Exterior
The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm
water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of
harsh abrasive cleaners. Keep the ventilation open-
ings
free of dust.
Door
Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door
seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth
to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean
the
oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If
the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door
before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth damp-
ened
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not
scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the
door and press Stop/Clear.

Oven Cleaning - Interior
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean function helps to loosen any
grease, oil or food residue. The steam will make the
oven easy to clean; however, it is not a self-cleaning
function. It will take approximately 20 minutes for the
cleaning cycle.
PREPARATION
1. Make sure that the water tank is filled with room
temperature water suitable for drinking (filtered)
and is installed. (See page E-6.)
2. Make sure that the empty drip tray is installed.
(See page E-6.)
P R O C E D U R E
1
Press Back/Info, turn
the Knob to select
STEAM CLEAN and
press Enter.
2
Press START.
Allow the oven to cool to prevent burns. Then open
the door and remove any residue carefully with a
soft damp cloth. Finally, remove and empty the water
tank. Wait a few minutes, then empty the drip tray.
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth
and warm water.
1. After every use while the oven is still warm, wipe
spatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS
OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild
soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Carry out
Steam Clean function to clean thoroughly.
2. The cleaning cloth or sponge must be wrung dry
to prevent moisture or residue from entering the
oven vents.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven
interior.
4. Any remaining food or fat could cause smoke or
an unpleasant smell. It is a good idea to heat the
oven with SuperSteam Convection Grill in manual
operation for 20 minutes without preheat and food
to remove any fat or residue from the interior ducts
and heaters and unpleasant smell. See CLEAN
THE OVEN BEFORE FIRST USE on page E-9.
