Wipe with a dry cloth. � Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, which dull the surface. In the event that one of these products comes into contact with the oven, immediately clean it using a damp cloth. � Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are determined by the different materials used, such as glass, plastic and metal.
