All guidelines which are meant to keep the glass oven in working
order should be followed. This also includes a periodic cleaning
and checking for any visible damage.
6.1 Cleaning
The housing of the B-580 glass oven is coated with paint. Clean
only with dry rag or a rag moistened with alcohol.
While cleaning the oven, you should make sure that the iris dia -
phra gm does not become dirty.
The inner oven space is best clea ned with a moist rag. Any kind
of solvent may be used to do so.
Never rinse the oven out with running water or wash it using a
lot of water. Water could get between the outer and inner glass
layers where the heater is and cause an electrical short circuit.
If water should accidentally get in the iris diaphragm, you should
dry it out by placing the entire oven in a vacuum (vacuum drying
cabinet) at 40°C for several hours before you start using it again.

the vacuum gasket and the rubber seal in the GL 14 may leak
