General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions 
on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside 
surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. To avoid 
breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner 
door glass before it has completely cooled.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless 
otherwise noted.

under the griddle.

coating.

scrubbing pads can damage the nonstick coating.

particles.

If the griddle is washed, it will need to be coated again with 
vegetable oil to preserve the nonstick finish as well as the 
durability of the griddle.
