AXP Care and Cleaning
To prevent burns, handle utensils, accessories, and door
with care. Allow oven, utensils, and accessories to cool
before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and accessories become
hot during operation.
Daily Cleaning Recommendations: Follow the recommendations below for proper maintenance of the Amana® AXP oven.
Please Note: The use of caustic* cleaning products or those containing ammonia, phosphates or chlorine can damage critical oven parts. Do
not use water pressure type cleaning systems. Use of unapproved cleaning agents will void the terms of the warranty.
