1. Stop heating, unplug or isolate power, and wait until the glass tray has cooled completely.
2. Check the manual, lift the tray level, and inspect it for chips or cracks.
3. Use lukewarm soapy water and a soft non-abrasive cloth or pad to remove spills.
4. Use a dishwasher only if the specific model manual states that the glass tray is dishwasher-safe; otherwise hand-wash.
5. Rinse away soap and thoroughly dry the tray and removable roller ring. Never reuse cracked glass.
6. Seat the roller ring and tray securely and check that they rotate correctly. Do not operate without the tray where the manual requires it.
