Maintenance Features
The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning and replacing components to ensure the appliance's longevity and safe operation:
- General Cleaning: Recommends disconnecting power or leaving the door open before cleaning. Surfaces should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents. Harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and metal scouring pads should be avoided.
- Oven Cavity Cleaning: For baked-on food, heating water with lemon juice can help loosen particles. The glass turntable tray should be removed and washed carefully.
- Door and Sealing Surfaces: Emphasizes keeping these areas clean to prevent soil or cleaner residue accumulation, which can affect sealing.
- Exterior Cleaning: Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with a hot, damp cloth and mild detergent, scrubbing lightly in the direction of the grain.
- Exhaust Filters: The aluminum exhaust ventilation filters should be removed and cleaned monthly with hot water and mild detergent, or in a dishwasher. Ammonia should not be used as it can corrode and darken the aluminum. The oven should not be operated without filters in place.
