Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven rack
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle
without being damaged. The shiny, silver-
colored oven racks may remain in the
oven during the self-cleaning cycle,
but they will lose their luster and become
hard to slide.
It will be necessary to grease all oven rack
side edges with a light coating of
vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand
or in the oven. This will help maintain
the ease of sliding the racks in and out of
the oven.
Oven Racks
Painted surfaces include the sides, top of
the control panel and the drawer front.
Clean these with soap and water or a
vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
Painted Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use
warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.

steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to

Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Oven Floor
Do not clean the broil element. Any soil
will burn off when the element is heated.
Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy
water.
On some models, the bake element is not
exposed and is under the oven floor. If spillovers,
residue or ash accumulate on the oven floor,
wipe up before self-cleaning.
