Never wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a damp sponge; it may cause chipping or crazing (tiny hairlike cracks).
Do not use oven cleaners, steam cleaners, harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, vinegar, steel scouring pads, or abrasive pads or cleansers to clean the oven, as they can permanently damage the oven surface.
Do not clean the gasket.
Do not clean the interior with the oven light on.
To prevent burns, wait until the oven has cooled down before touching any of its parts.
Do not use oven cleaners to clean the oven cavity.
A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to scrape off any chunks or debris before and after oven cleaning.
Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad may help to take off burnt-on stains better than a soft sponge or towel.
Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as those made of melamine foam, available at local stores, can also help improve cleaning.
Food spills should be cleaned when the oven cools immediately after the cooking has ended. Leaving spills or splatter unattended to may cause surface etching or discoloration.
At high temperature, foods react with porcelain and a permanent dull spot can result. When cleaning a spot, use only non-abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
