Door
To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a
soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass oven door
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.

The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam
produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam
produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such
as potatoes have a high moisture content. Condensation trapped in the door glass
should clear after a few hours.
