Cleaning Recommendation
•
Control knobs
•
Painted body parts
•
Painted decorative trim
•
Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim
pieces
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult
soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave
on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
Do not
use
abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove
control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob
and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
•
Control panel
•
Decorative trim
(some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove
any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Be sure
to
squeeze excess water from the dishcloth
before
wiping
the control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When
rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water
from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
•
Stainless steel
(some models)
Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean
water and a cloth.
Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of
chlorides or chlorine.
Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use
kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always
be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish stains may occur
during heating that cannot be removed.
•
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
broiler pan insert
(if equipped)
•
Door liner & body parts
Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most
spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary,
cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a
soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future
heating.
•

Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity.
Clean by using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water
and dry.
•

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven
door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the

water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents.
Do not use oven
cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the
