Cleaning the Oven Parts
Allow the oven to cool down until you begin the cleaning procedure.
- Step 1. Take off the air filter - Located at the base of the oven. Remove by lifting off.
- Step 2. Remove the oven parts - Open oven door and take out:
- Oven Rack - Located in the center of the oven cavity. Remove by lifting out.
- Grease Filter - Secured to the rear wall of the cavity. Remove by lifting out.
- Top Impinger Plate - Take out by undoing the fasteners securing the plate to the roof of the oven cavity.
- Bottom Impinger Plate - Remove by lifting out.
- Step 3. Examine the oven cavity for evidence of arcing - A rough, burnt texture or ripped, open crack in the metal are evidence of arcing.
- Step 4. Inspect the door seal for wear and tear - The door seal should be soft, not hard or brittle, and there should be no cracks or open gaps.
- Step 5. Wash removed parts - Wash oven parts and air filter in warm, soapy water, using a sponge to remove any food particles.
- Step 6. Dry the parts - Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the parts before replacing them.
Cleaning the Cavity & Door
- Step 1. Clean spills and food particles - Use disposable paper wipes to clean spills and a dry, clean brush to remove food particles from the oven cavity and door. Be sure to clean the space between the oven door and floor, too.
- Step 2. Wipe the sides of the cavity with cleaner - Spray a non-caustic oven cleaner onto a non-abrasive sponge and wipe the roof, base, sides, and door.
- DO NOT wipe the oven cleaner onto the door seal.
- DO NOT spray the oven cleaner directly into the fan opening at the back of the cavity.
- Step 3. Let the oven cleaner soak for 10 minutes - Keep the door open as the cleaner soaks. After soaking, difficult to remove spills and stains will be easier to clean.
- Step 4. Remove the oven cleaner - Use a clean cloth and warm water to wipe down the oven cavity and door.
- Step 5. Dry the oven cavity - Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to dry the roof, base, sides and door.
- Step 6. Replace the cleaned oven parts - If necessary, dry them with a clean cloth.
- Step 7. Replace the air filter - If needed, dry it with a clean cloth.
- Step 8. Wipe down the outside - Close the oven door and use a damp cloth to wipe the outside of the oven.
