CARE AND CLEANING
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as pos-
sible. Regular cleaning will reduce the dif fi culty of
major cleaning later.
CAUTION
• Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be
sure all controls are turned off and the appli-
ance is cool.
• If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used,
they must be removed and the appliance must
be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow
manufacturer's instructions and provide ad-
equate ventilation.
Figure 8: Use cleaners with caution
Surface or Area Cleaning Recommendation

clean water, dry and polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Painted and plastic control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry and polish
with a soft, clean cloth. Glass cleaners may be used, but do not apply
directly to surface; spray onto cloth and wipe.
Control panel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven
control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the
control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage
to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the fi nish.
Control knobs Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. To remove control knobs: turn to the
OFF position, grasp fi rmly, and pull off the shaft. To replace knobs af-
ter cleaning, line up the OFF markings and push the knobs into place.

solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft
clean cloth. Do not use cleaners containing abrasives, chlorides, chlo-
rine, or ammonia.
Coated Stainless Steel
Black Stainless Steel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft

cleaners may damage the fi nish.
Gas cooktop surface burners See “Cleaning the sealed burners” on page 22.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (milk, to-
matoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie fi lling) to remain on the burner
grates or burner caps. These spills may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Clean these spills as soon as surfaces are cool. Thoroughly
dry immediately following cleaning.
