How to Clean
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.
Before cleaning the control panel,
turn all controls to
OFF
and remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Rinse with a clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth
before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as
bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
DO NOT
use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up
the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Clean Stainless Steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a
cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use
harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that especially made for cleaning
Stainless Steel as Stainless Steel Magic, or other similar cleaners are recommended. Always
follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as
bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
The holes in the burner of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and
a complete, even flame. Clean the burners routinely and especially after bad spillovers
which could clog these holes.
To remove, clean and replace the entire burner cap assembly, follow the instructions under
General Cleaning. DO NOT put burner parts in the dishwasher.
Gentle scouring with a soapy 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 scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners
or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
DO NOT
use spray oven
cleaners on the cooktop.
Oven racks should be removed from the oven during self-clean cycle for cleaning. When
removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions.
Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish
will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of
the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this
will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the
door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on
self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
