Cleaning the oven interior
• After use be sure to remove spilled liquids, spattered oil and food debris as quickly as possible.

This may cause bad odours. Clean the interior with a cloth soaked in luke-warm water with a mild
detergent dissolved in it, then rinse the soap off with a damp cloth.
Remove any odours in the oven interior by microwaving a cup of water with the
juice of 1 lemon for 5 minutes. Wipe the oven clean with a soft dry cloth.

whole baffle backward to release. Afterward, remove the baffle from the oven (Step B).
• Clean the baffle with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry.
• To install the baffle, hold the baffle and insert the 3 pins on the rear into the holes on the oven back
wall (Step C).
• Press the right dent backward until the right part of the baffle gets buckled. Repeat same operation
to buckle the left part into position (Step D).
