How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control
knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water
and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze
excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around
the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating
and cannot de removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of
both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a
soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first.
DO NOT
spray
liquids directly on the control pad 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 finish. 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 the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth.
Do not
use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines.
Do not use
harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for
cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as
bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
This oven 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.
Gentle scouring with a soapy 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 scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with
a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during
future heating.
DO NOT
use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Use soap & 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. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is cool. Remove spillovers and
heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the effort required for major cleanings later.
