Read and follow the CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS to ensure that proper oven operation and appearance will be maintained
throughout the lifetime of the product. Several materials and finishes are used in the oven. Each material and finish must be properly cleaned
according to the following recommendations. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in permanent damage to the oven.
WARNING
1. To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off all controls and ensure the oven is cool before cleaning.
2. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial oven cleaners to clean the oven.
Control Panel
To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate the “Secure” feature. Press and hold the
“CANCEL•SECURE” pad for approximately three seconds. This will disable the control panel and allow cleaning the controls without
accidentally starting any functions. “OFF” will appear in the display when the control panel has been secured.
To re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for three seconds. “OFF” will disappear from the display.
Clean the control panel with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY
WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Dry the control panel completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
