Cooktop – Glass-Ceramic

Never use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, ammonia or
glass cleaners with ammonia. Important: Call 

 

an

authorized servicer if the glass-ceramic top should
crack, break or if metal or aluminum foil should melt on
the cooktop.

• Allow the cooktop to cool 

before

 cleaning.

General 

– Clean cooktop after each use, or when needed,

with a damp paper towel and Cooktop Cleaning
Creme* (Part No. 20000001)**. Then, buff with a clean, dry
cloth.

Important: 

Permanent stains will develop if soil is allowed to

cook on by repeatedly using the cooktop when soiled.

Heavy Soils or Metal Marks 

– Dampen a “scratchless” or

“never scratch” scrubber sponge. Apply Cooktop Cleaning
Creme* (Part No. 20000001)** and scrub to remove as much
soil as possible. Apply a thin layer of the creme over the soil,
cover with a damp paper towel and let stand 30 to 45
minutes (2-3 hours for very heavy soil). Keep moist by
covering the paper towel with plastic wrap. Scrub again,
then buff with a clean dry cloth.

Important:

 Only use a CLEAN, DAMP “scratchless” pad that

is safe for non-stick cookware. The pattern and glass will be
damaged if the pad is not damp, if the pad is soiled, or if
another type of pad is used.

Burned-on or Crusty Soils

 – Scrub with a “scratchless” or

“never scratch” scouring pad and Cooktop Cleaning Creme*.

Important:

 Hold a razor blade scraper at 30

°

 angle and

scrape any remaining soil. Then, clean as described above. 

Do

not 

use the razor blade for daily cleaning as it may wear the

pattern on the glass.

Melted Sugar or Plastic

 – Immediately turn element to

Low

 and scrape sugar or plastic from hot surface  to a cool

area. Then turn element 

OFF

 and allow to cool. Clean

residue with razor blade scraper and Cooktop Cleaning
Creme*.

Oven Window and Door – Glass

• Avoid using excessive amounts of water which may seep

under or behind glass, causing staining.

• Wash with soap and water. Rinse with clear water and dry.

Glass cleaner can be used if sprayed on a cloth first.

Do not

 use abrasive materials such as scouring pads, steel

wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass.

Oven Interior

• Follow instructions on pages 4-5 to set a self-clean cycle.

Oven Racks

• Clean with soapy water.

• Remove stubborn soil with cleansing powder or soap-filled

scouring pad. Rinse and dry.

• Racks will permanently discolor and may not slide smoothly

if left in the oven during a self-clean operation. If this
occurs, wipe the rack edge and rack support with a small
amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement, then
wipe off excess oil.

DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING PRODUCT CONTAINING
CHLORINE BLEACH.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR ORANGE CLEANERS.

ALWAYS WIPE WITH THE GRAIN WHEN CLEANING.

following - soapy water, white vinegar/water solution,
Formula 409 Glass and Surface Cleaner* or a similar glass

Steel Magic Spray (Part No. 20000008)**.

sponge or soft cloth. Rinse and dry. Stubborn soils may be
removed with a damp multi-purpose Scotch-Brite* pad; rub

remove streaks, follow with Stainless Steel Magic
Spray*.

Discoloration ––

 Using a damp sponge or

soft cloth, wipe with Cameo Stainless Steel
Cleaner*. Rinse immediately and dry. To

follow with Stainless Steel Magic Spray*.

Storage Drawer, Door Handle, Side Panels –
Painted Enamel

• When cool, wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

Never

 wipe a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth as this

may damage the surface and may cause a steam burn.

• For stubborn soil, use mildly abrasive cleaning agents such

as baking soda paste or Bon Ami.* 

Do not

 use abrasive,

caustic or harsh cleaning agents such as steel wool pads or
oven cleaners. These products will scratch or permanently
damage the surface.

Important: Use a dry towel or cloth to wipe up spills,
especially acidic or sugary spills. Surface may discolor
or dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is
especially important for white surfaces.
