Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your self-clean oven.
Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. Your oven
features a self-clean cycle for the oven interior. See the self-clean
section for complete instructions.
NEVERS USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS, ABRASIVE CLOTHS,
ABRASIVE CLEANERS, CAUSTIC OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE
POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent
and warm water. Do not soak knobs. Dry completely and replace by
pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing
ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner
when soapy water will not do the job.
Do not use
steel wool, abrasive
cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrap stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape
stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as
LIquid Zud can be used according to package directions. Do not
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as
citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
Glass Door Window Surface (Not Glass Ceramic Top)
Clean with detergent and water. Mild glass cleaner will remove
fingerprints.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-
filled steel wool pad.

Brass Parts
CAUTION:
All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy
coating.
DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
BRASS OPTION PARTS.
All brass parts should be wiped regularly with
hot soapy water.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS
OR RACK SUPPORTS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
Self-Clean Cycle
CAUTION:
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle
has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may
be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of teh binder in the
high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thorougly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-
cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-CLEAN
CYCLE.
WARNING:
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all control are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean, move, wet, or bend door gasket. Poor cleaning and
baking may result.
