Cleaning and Maintenance
Door Gasket (Seal)
Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of water and
mild soap. Do not scrub it or it will become damaged.
Oven Racks
To clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent and hot
water. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad
such as steel wool with plenty of water. You may also use a
solution of one cup of ammonia to two gallons of water.
If you accidentally leave the racks in the oven during self-cleaning,
you can polish them to make them easier to slide. Polish the rack
edges with a soapy steel wool pad. Then apply a small amount of
vegetable oil to the edges so that the racks slide more easily. Be
aware that polishing will not completely remove the discoloration.
Meat Probe
WARNING
To prevent damage, do not immerse the meat probe in water.
The meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire, a plug,
and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer, use a scouring
pad and hot, soapy water. When you clean the handles, wipe
them with a soft sponge soaked with a solution of detergent and
warm water.
Broil Pan
Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you clean
it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your broil pan is
heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty of water. Rinse it
well after cleaning.
Griddle
Clean the griddle after each use. Wash it thoroughly in hot soapy
water to avoid stains from grease build-up. The griddle is coated
with a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. Warm water and
liquid detergent are all that are needed for cleaning. Remove
stubborn spots with a non-abrasive plastic mesh pad. To prevent
scratching, do not use abrasives or abrasive cleaners. Use the
soft side of a sponge to scrub it. Dry it with a lint-free cloth.
WARNING
Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing
or displacing it may damage the tight door seal required for
proper cooking and self-cleaning.

Optional Roast/Broil Pan with “V” Shaped Rack
Your roast/broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you
clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your roast/
broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad and plenty of water.
Rinse it well after cleaning.
The optional “V” Shaped rack is
finished with an Excalibur™ non-
stick coating. When you clean it,
use a mild solution of detergent
and warm water. Use the soft
side of a sponge to scrub it and
dry it with a lint-free cloth.
Optional Baking Stone
Wash the optional baking stone
with hot water and scrub it clean before you use it for the first
time. Do not use any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The
stone is porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped
soap will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Don’t be
alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for a while.
Stains do not affect the stone’s ability to bake properly.
When you need to remove large food particles from the baking
stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. If there is a lot of oil
build-up, it may smoke and create odors. If you need to remove
the oily build up, use a scouring pad or brush to remove it. You
may also use a paste of baking soda and water to scrub off small
stains.
Optional Cookie Sheets
Clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solution of
detergent and warm water. Since aluminum can scratch, you
need to use the soft side of a sponge. A way for you to keep
cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment paper over the cooking
surface during baking. The parchment paper will also prevent food
from sticking.
