To clean the inside of the door:
Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may
also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the
range and cause injury.
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven-top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the door-
will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-
filled scouring pads may also be used.

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy
but breakable if misused. This finish is
aced-resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside
of the door. Do not let water drip into the
vent openings.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
oven overnight. The ammonia fumes
will help loosen the burned-on grease
and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensor-it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top
of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move
the sensor as a change in its position could affect
how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
If acid spill on the cooktop while it is hot,
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up
right away. When the surface has cooled,
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse
well. Polish with a dry cloth.
To clean outside of the gasket:
The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand on self-
clean models.
The area outside the gasket and the front
frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled
steel-wool pad, hot water and detergent.
Rinse well with a vinegar and water
solution.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket-it has
an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way, or if it has
become displace on the door, you should
have it replaced.
