Microwave Cookware Guide

Use

OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

CHINA: bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic rims.

PLASTIC:

Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking time. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic rim or design.

Check the manufacturer's label before using in the microwave oven.

Note:

Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They sometimes contain impurities that cause arcing and sparking.

Do Not Use

METAL CONTAINERS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal rim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED COOKWARE:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags.

They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED COOKWARE:

Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

Microwave Cooking Tips

Keeping an Eye on Things

Always watch your food while it cooks. The light inside the upper oven turns on automatically when the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking process. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem.

Factors Affecting Microwave Cooking Times

Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature. Some recipes, particularly those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are slightly undercooked.

This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt. Practice will improve your ability to estimate both cooking and standing times for various foods.

Density of Food

Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle.

Height of Food

The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower portion.

Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food several times during cooking.

Moisture Content of Food

Because the heat generated from microwaves causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to retain moisture.

Bone and Fat Content of Food

Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly cooked or overcooked meat.

Quantity of Food

The number of microwaves in your oven remains constant regardless of how much food is being cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the oven, the longer the required cooking time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one third when halving a recipe.

Shape of Food

Microwaves penetrate only about 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) into food. The interior portion of thick foods is cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. Only the outer edge of food is cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction. The worst possible shape for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick square.

The corners will burn long before the center is even warm. Round thin foods and ring-shaped foods cook most successfully in the microwave.

Covering

A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave cling film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting.

Covering with Parchment Paper

Parchment paper (not waxed paper) is microwave safe. Because it makes a looser cover than a lid or clingfilm, greaseproof paper allows the food to dry out slightly.

Stirring

Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the outside of the food heats first.

Placing Thicker Portions Facing Outward

Place thicker cuts or portions of meat, poultry, and fish toward the outer edge of the baking dish so they absorb the most microwave energy and the food cooks more evenly.

Shielding

Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in the oven, especially if the foil passes too closely to the walls of the oven during rotation.

Elevating

Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and center of the foods.

Piercing

Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites of eggs, clams, oysters, potatoes, and other whole vegetables and fruits.

Testing if Cooked

Microwaves cook food quickly, so test food for doneness frequently. Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most foods, including meats and poultry, should be removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed to finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of foods will rise between 5 °F (3 °C) and 15 °F (8 °C) during standing time.

Microwave Power Levels

This upper oven is equipped with 10 power levels to give you maximum flexibility and control over cooking. See the table for suggested power levels for various foods.

2 Press Upper Clear/Off to pause the oven. Press it again to cancel cooking.

Defrost

The oven has 4 preset defrost cycles. The defrost feature provides the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The Defrost Table shows the suggested defrost cycle for various foods.

The Defrost function conveniently chimes partway through the defrost cycle to remind you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food for best results.

1 Meat

2 Poultry

3 Fish

4 Bread

Setting the Defrost Function

Example: To defrost 1.2 pounds of meat.

1 Touch Defrost.

2 Touch 1 to select MEAT.

3 Set the weight : Touch 1, 2. (for 1.2 lbs)

4 Touch Start to start cooking.

5 When cooking is complete, touch Clear/Off.

Defrosting Tips

  • When using Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
  • Before starting, remove the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
  • Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.
  • Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original wrapping paper or plastic package. Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
  • If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the food in a suitable container.
  • Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
  • Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
  • Place foods in a shallow container or in a microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings.
  • Always underestimate defrosting time. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the upper oven for more defrosting.
  • The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.
  • Depending on the shape of the food, some areas may defrost more quickly than others.
  • The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
  • As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces to defrost them more easily.
  • Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.
  • For best results, shape ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
  • Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
  • For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

Sensor Operation

Sensor Cook reheats favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it tells the oven how much longer to heat. The display shows the remaining heating time. For best results when sensor cooking, follow these recommendations.

  • Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.
  • The glass tray and the outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results.
  • Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
  • Do not open the door or touch Clear/Off during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results.

  • Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
  • Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
  • Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.
  • Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the upper oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Using Sensor Cook

Use Sensor Cook to heat common microwave prepared foods without needing to program times and power levels. Sensor Cook has preset programs for 9 food categories. See the Sensor Cook table for more information.

Setting the Sensor Cook Function

Example: To sensor cook rice

1 Touch Sensor Cook.

2 Touch 7 to select RICE.

3 Touch Start.

NOTE Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

7 When broiling is finished, touch Lower Clear/ Off. Touch Clear/Off to cancel this function at any time.

Smoking

Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it is normal to experience smoke during the cooking process. This smoke is a natural byproduct of searing and should not cause you to worry. If you are experiencing more smoke than you are comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce the amount of smoke in your oven.

1 Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.

2 The broiler pan should always be thoroughly cleaned and at room temperature at the beginning of cooking.

3 Keep the interior of your oven as clean as possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can burn or catch fire.

4 Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both of these will increase the amount of smoke you experience. If you would like to use a glaze, apply it at the very end of cooking.

5 If you are experiencing significant smoke with any food item, consider:

  • Lowering the broiler to the Lo setting.
  • Lowering the rack position to cook the food further away from the broiler.
  • Using the Hi broil setting to achieve the level of searing you desire, and then either switching to the Lo broil setting, or switching to the Bake function.

6 As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce more smoke than leaner items.

7 Adhere to the recommended broil settings and cooking guidelines in the chart on the following page whenever possible.

Steam Function

MAINTENANCE

Caring for the Upper Oven

To make sure the microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, maintain it properly. For proper care, follow these instructions carefully.

Cleaning the Interior

Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed.

Wipe well with a clean cloth. Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with some lemon juice or vinegar in it.

Cleaning the Exterior

Use a soft cloth sprayed with glass cleaner.

Apply the glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE

Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

To clean the glass tray and rotating ring, wash in mild, sudsy water.

For heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge.

The glass tray and rotating ring are dishwasher safe.

Caring for the Lower Oven

EasyClean®

LG’s EasyClean® enamel technology provides two cleaning options for the inside of the lower oven. The EasyClean® feature takes advantage of LG’s new enamel to help lift soils without harsh chemicals, and it runs using ONLY WATER for just 10 minutes in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before hand cleaning.

While EasyClean® is quick and effective for small and LIGHT soils, the Self Clean feature can be used to remove HEAVY, built up soils. The intensity and high heat of the Self Clean cycle may result in smoke which will require the opening up of windows to provide ventilation. Compared to the more intense Self Clean process, your LG oven gives you the option of cleaning with LESS HEAT, LESS TIME, and virtually NO SMOKE OR FUMES.

When needed, the oven still provides the Self Clean option for longer, more thorough oven cleaning for heavier, built up soils.

Benefits of EasyClean®

  • Helps loosen light soils before hand-cleaning
  • EasyClean® only uses water; no chemical cleaners
  • Makes for a better self-clean experience
    • Delays the need for a self-clean cycle
    • Minimizes smoke and odors
    • Can allow shorter self-clean tim

Cleaning Tips

  • Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the EasyClean® cycle. If your oven cavity is above 150 °F (65 °C), OVEN IS HOT will appear in the display, and the EasyClean® cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
  • A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to scrape off any chunks or debris before and during 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 your local stores, can also help improve cleaning.
  • The Oven must be level to ensure that the lower surface of the oven cavity is completely covered with water at the beginning of the EasyClean® cycle.
  • For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
  • Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean® cycle.
  • Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean® cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is opened during the cycle.
  • For hard to reach areas such as the back surface of the oven, it is better to use the Self Clean cycle.

Steam Feeder Tank

The steam feeder tank is used during the steam cooking functions. Use filtered, softened water if possible.

NOTE

  • After using the steam function, the steam feeder tank should be drained. To avoid bacteria or odors, clean and dry the steam feeder tank after every use.
  • Do not clean in a dishwasher.

Hard Water Scale

If hard water is used in the steam feeder tank, the steam generator may become clogged with hard water scale. In areas with hard water, run the Descaling function frequently or use softened water.

Cleaning Scale on Oven Bottom

To remove mineral deposits that remain on the oven bottom after using the steam mode, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid solution. For more stubborn or extensive scaling, use the Descaling function.

Descaling

Use this function to remove the white deposits that form after the steam generator is used for a long period.

The Descaling function runs for 65 minutes. Water will come out of the steam generator while it is being cleaned.

For instructions on removing and filling the steam feeder tank, see "Using the Steam Feeder Tank."

Using Descaling

  1. Fill the steam feeder tank with a 20:1 mixture of water and citric acid. For example, use 4 tsp of citric acid in 41/4 cups water (20 g citric acid in 1000 ml water).
  2. Insert the steam feeder tank into the slot over the oven cavity and push it in until it clicks into place.
  3. Touch More Mode.
  4. Touch 4 to select DESCALING.
  5. After a few minutes of descaling, Insert the water tank will appear in the display. Following the instructions, drain the tank and fill it with clean water.
  6. Insert the tank and start the Rinsing function.
  7. Once the Rinsing function is complete, dry the inside of the oven with a soft cloth.

Drying

The Drying function removes residual water inside the steam generator. The function takes a little over 1 minute and runs automatically after any steam cooking cycle. The Drying function can also be started manually, if needed.

Using Drying

  1. Check whether there is water in the steam feeder tank. The remaining water in the tank must be drained.
  2. Touch More Mode.
  3. Touch 5 to select DRYING.
  4. Touch Start to begin Drying. The remaining time appears in the display.

Self Clean

The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled.

During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.

Setting Self Clean

The Self Clean function has cycle times of 3, 4, or 5 hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FAQs

Can I use a rack in my upper oven to reheat or cook on two levels at once?

Only use the rack that is supplied with your upper oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven.

Will the upper oven be damaged if it operates empty?

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray.

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

This light is from the upper oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.

What are the various sounds I hear when the upper oven is operating?

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven's magnetron ON and OFF.

The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Can my upper oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking.

Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature.

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my upper oven?

Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is ¾ inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Sometimes the door of my upper oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

The glass tray does not move.

The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub. The support is not operating correctly. Remove the glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the glass tray can give you poor results.

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

What does standing time mean?

Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.

Can I pop popcorn in my upper oven? How do I get the best results?

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn key.

Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The upper oven has been designed to vent steam out of the top vent.

The Lower oven doesn’t cook like my old one. Is there something wrong with the temperature settings?

No, your oven has been factory tested and calibrated. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking needs. Refer to the Oven Temperature Adjustment section in this manual for easy instructions on how to adjust your thermostat.

Is it normal to hear a clicking noise coming from the back of the lower oven when I am using it?

Your new oven is designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven’s temperature. You may hear your oven’s heating elements click on and off more frequently on your new oven. This is NORMAL.

Why is the time flashing?

This means that the product has just been plugged in, or that it has experienced a power interruption. To clear the flashing time, touch any button and reset the clock if needed.

During convection cooking the fan stops when I open the door. Is that normal?

Yes, this is normal. When the door is opened, the convection fan will stop until the door is closed.

Can I use aluminum foil to catch drippings in the lower oven cavity?

Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides of the oven. The foil will melt and stick to the bottom surface of the oven and will not be removable. Use a sheet pan placed on a lower oven rack to catch drippings instead. (If foil has already melted onto the bottom of the oven, it will not interfere with the oven's performance.)

Can I use aluminum foil on the racks?

Do not cover racks with aluminum foil. Covering entire racks with foil restricts air flow, leading to poor cooking results. Use a sheet pan lined with foil under fruit pies or other acidic or sugary foods to prevent spillovers from damaging the oven finish.

Can I leave my racks in the oven when running a Self Clean cycle?

No. Although it will not damage the racks, it will discolor them and may make them hard to slide in and out during use. Remove all items from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle.

What should I do if my racks are sticky and have become hard to slide in and out?

Over time, the racks may become hard to slide in and out. Apply a small amount of olive oil to the ends of the racks. This will work as a lubricant for easier gliding.

Why aren't the function buttons working?

Make sure that the oven is not in Lockout mode. The lock will show in the display if Lockout is activated. To deactivate Lockout, touch and hold Lower Clear/Off for three seconds. The unlock melody sounds and Loc appears in the display until the controls are unlocked.

My oven is still dirty after running the EasyClean® cycle. What else should I do?

The EasyClean® cycle only helps to loosen light soils in your oven to assist in hand-cleaning of your oven. It does not automatically remove all soils after the cycle. Some scrubbing of your oven is required after running the EasyClean® cycle.

I tried scrubbing my oven after running EasyClean®, but some soils still remain. What can I do?

The EasyClean® feature works best when the soils are fully soaked and submerged in water before running the cycle and during hand-cleaning. If soils are not sufficiently soaked in water, it can negatively affect the cleaning performance. Repeat the EasyClean® process using sufficient water. Sugar-based and certain greasy soils are especially hard to clean. If some stubborn soils remain, use the Self Clean feature to thoroughly clean your oven.

Soil on the oven walls is not coming off. How can I clean the oven walls?

Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven may be more difficult to fully soak with water. Try repeating the EasyClean® process with more than the ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml).

Will EasyClean® get all of the soils and stains out completely?

It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain grease stains are especially hard to clean. Also, if stains are not sufficiently soaked in water, this can negatively affect cleaning performance. If stubborn or built-up stains remain, use the Self Clean feature. Refer to the Self Clean section of your owner's manual.

Are there any tricks to getting some of the stubborn soils out?

Scraping the soils with a plastic scraper before and during hand-cleaning is recommended. Fully saturating soils with water is also recommended. However, certain types of soils are harder to clean than others. For these stubborn soils, the Self Clean cycle is recommended. Consult the Self Clean section of your owner's manual for details.

Is it safe for my convection fan, broil burner or heater element to get wet during EasyClean®?

Yes. The convection fan, broiler burner or heater element may get a little wet during cleaning. However, direct spray onto the broil burner and heater elements is not necessary because these are self-cleaning during regular use.

I see smoke coming out of my oven's vents during EasyClean®. Is this normal?

This is normal. This is not smoke. It is actually water vapor (steam) from the water in the oven cavity. As the oven heats briefly during EasyClean®, the water in the cavity evaporates and escapes through the oven vents.

How often should I use EasyClean®?

EasyClean® can be performed as often as you wish. EasyClean® works best when your oven is LIGHTLY soiled from such things as LIGHT grease splatter and small drops of cheese. Please refer to the EasyClean® section in your owner's manual for more information.

What is required for EasyClean®?

A plastic scraper, a non-scratch scrubbing pad and a towel. You should not use abrasive scrubbers such as heavy-duty scouring pads or steel wool. Except for a towel, all of the materials you need are included in a special cleaning kit with your new oven.
