CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven
will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow
these directions carefully in caring for your oven to
assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF
AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.

Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser
or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned
in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to
slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil to
make the shelves slide more easily.
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth.
Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the
self-cleaning oven.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the oven.
