6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your oven and ensure optimal performance.

• Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Remove oven racks and accessories for separate cleaning in warm, soapy water.
