Control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trim
Aluminum, plastic, or vinyl trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up
grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse
with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can
scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position. Grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft, then push
knob into place.
Control panel
Control keypad membrane
Decorative trim (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate oven lockout (on some models),
and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these
materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to
squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping control panel, especially when wiping
around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a cloth or sponge and be sure to squeeze excess
water from cloth or sponge before wiping the control panel.
Porcelain enamel parts and door
liner
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-
soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then
scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do
not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or
pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Oven interior
For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean.
Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important
cleaning precautions, be sure to read all the
“Self Clean”
instructions on
page 28
.
Porcelain coated oven racks
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the
self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that the
sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-
clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Oven door
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door in
water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door. Do not clean the oven door gasket.
Cooktop surface
Surface burners
Burner grates
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See
“Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface
Burners”
instructions on
page 31
.
Stainless Steel (some models)
Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel.
Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-
free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish
stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with
hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
