CAUTION

Pan placement

• Place pans in the center of the oven rack.
• Allow 1″ to 1 1/2″ of air space around pans.
• When baking four cake layers at the same time stagger pans on two racks so one pan is not above another.

Baking pans and dishes

• Use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware for tender, light, golden brown crusts.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat and will result in a browner, crisper crust. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in selecting baking temperatures.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time.
• Use low-sided, uncovered pans for convection modes.

For best cooking results

• Open the oven door as briefly as possible to avoid reducing the oven temperature.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• When using convection baking modes (including multirack), set the oven temperature 25° F lower than indicated in conventional baking recipes or package directions.
• Preheat oven for baked goods and pizza.

Oven cleaning recommendations

Clean only those oven parts that are listed in this cleaning chart.

 

Avoid these cleaners
Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®*. They may damage the oven finish or parts. Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleansers are corrosive to stainless steel. Check  ingredients on label. Never use scouring pads or abrasivecleaners. Clean only parts listed in the Use and Care manual.

* Certain trademarks contained herein are third-party trademarks belonging to their respective owners. All others are trademarks of BSH Home Appliances Corporation or its affiliates.

Part	Recommendations
Flat rack	DO NOT CLEAN WITH THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION. Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soapfilled pads as directed. If the flat racks are cleaned in the oven during the self clean mode, they will loose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then wipe off excess.
Telescopic rack	DO NOT CLEAN WITH THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION. Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soapfilled pads as directed. Avoid getting cleansing powder in the telescopic slides. Re-lubrication may become necessary. Use only high-temperature food-grade lubricants to re-lubricate slides
Door gasket	DO NOT CLEAN DOOR GASKET The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
Glass	Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik®* on a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Painted surfaces	Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik®* to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Porcelain surfaces	Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk, and tomatoes with a dry cloth. Do not use a moistened sponge/cloth on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot soapy water or apply Bon- Ami®* or Soft Scrub®* to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap-filled pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.
Stainless steel surfaces	Never allow food stains or salt to remain on stainless steel for any length of time. Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik®* sprays on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic®* and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend®* to remove heat discoloration. Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleansers are corrosive to stainless steel. Check ingredients on label.
Black stainless surfaces	For black stainless steel surfaces, use a soft, dry towel. For stubborn dirt, use warm water diluted with a nonabrasive, mild cleansing soap. Never use stainless steel polish.
Plastic and controls	When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Probe	Wipe with soapy water. Do not submerge. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
Printed areas (words and numbers)	Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum based solvents.
