Cleaning the Oven Door

Cleaning the Door Interior

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots 

in the door .
Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. 

Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then 

wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any 

residue and dry off.
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-

filled plastic scouring pad. 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 displaced on the 

door, you should have it replaced.

Cleaning the Door Exterior

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild 

abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. 

Do not use this method on any other surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

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.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products 

including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, 

see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections 

at the end of this manual.
