pan and allow the unit to cool before
cleaning. (Note: If the cavity is full of water,
the drain pan will not hold the entire amount
and must be emptied more than once.)

pan racks from the cavity.

cavity, the probes on the inside back panel wall
and the pan racks.

CLEAN ANY PART OF THE UNIT.
EVEN WHEN THE UNIT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF,
DON’T PUT HANDS OR TOOLS INTO THE
COOKING CHAMBER UNTIL THE FAN HAS
STOPPED TURNING.
