Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential for the oven's performance and longevity.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the oven from the power supply before cleaning or performing maintenance. Do not use steam cleaners.
- General Cleaning: Do not line the oven bottom with aluminum foil. Do not immerse the unit, cord, or plug in water. Do not clean the appliance when it is hot. Clean the inside and external surfaces with a damp cloth after it has cooled down. Wash all accessories in hot soapy water or a dishwasher and wipe dry. If condensation forms during extended use, dry it with a soft cloth.
- Stainless Steel: Clean stainless steel surfaces regularly with warm water and a mild detergent, following the polish or brushing lines. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents. Be careful of sharp edges.
- Glass: Clean glass surfaces on doors and control panels immediately after soiling with a damp cloth. Oven cleaners can be used for stubborn marks. The glass door is durable but can break if scratched by harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers.
- Oven Interior: Keep the appliance clean to prevent fat and oil accumulation around elements, burners, or fans. Clean the oven dish, baking trays, and grill dish inserts regularly. Wrap meats in foil or use roasting bags to minimize cleaning.
- Grill: Keep the grill dish and grill insert clean to prevent fat fires.
