Signature Polish can be ordered via their website at www.signaturepolishonline.com.
4. Wipe oven walls and bottom of oven with a damp, soapy cloth. Repeat with a damp, clean cloth. For stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad.
5. Carefully use a razor blade to gently lift baked-on foods from the glass window. Spray glass cleaner on cloth to clean. Wipe with a damp sponge to rinse and dry.
6. Clean oven racks with a mild abrasive cleaner and rinse. Dry with clean cloth.
7. Slide out crumb/drip tray. Hand wash crumb/drip tray and baking pan with broil rack in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Troubleshooting

In case of power interruption:

- If power is out for less than 15 seconds, oven will go back to previous setting. If more than 15 seconds, oven switches to standby mode once power returns.

How large a bake pan will the oven hold?

- The oven will hold most 13" x 9" (33 cm x 23 cm) bake pans without handles.

How big a chicken will the oven handle?

• The oven will hold a 5-pound (2.3-kg) chicken.

When should I choose BAKE or BROIL?

• Choose BAKE for foods such as roasts, potatoes, or cakes.
• Choose BROIL to brown foods such as beef, chicken, fish, pork, and casseroles.

Error Messages

• "Err 1" and a flashing probe icon. Temperature probe is broken. Call a Customer Service Representative.
• "Err 2" and a flashing probe icon. Clean both ends of temperature probe.

If I want to toast bread, what setting is best?

- The TOAST mode is best for toasting both sides of sliced breads, or use the BROIL mode for open-faced sandwiches, baguettes, and crostini. The BROIL mode activates the top heating element and is great when toasting is required on one side only, or the breads can be "flipped" when the desired level of browning is reached.

Where is the slide-out crumb/drip tray?

- The slide-out crumb/drip tray is located in the front of the unit under the oven door.

• "Err 3" and a flashing probe icon. Wrong mode was selected. Probe only works with Convection and Bake modes.
• "Err 4" and a flashing probe icon. Oven temperature sensor is broken. Do not use oven. Call a Customer Service Representative.
