AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the
oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.
If white spots still remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar
and water mixture These deposits are usually a salt
residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle may
be repeated.
