How to Clean
Glass, Painted Plastic
Body Parts & Control
Knobs
For general cleaning, use a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent & water or a 50/50 solution
of vinegar & water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry & polish with a soft cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth 1st.
DO NOT
spray liquids directly on the
control pad and display areas.
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 some paper towels - they will damage the finish.
Painted Control Panels
& Display areas
Before cleaning the control panel,
turn all controls to OFF & remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Use the
general cleaning
instructions provided in
the paragraph above.

Liner & Oven Bottom
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution
of clean water & 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, then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring pad. Rinse & 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 range top.
Oven Racks
Remove oven racks. See “Removing & Replacing Oven Racks” under
Before Setting Oven
Controls
. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner’s recommendations. Rinse with clean
water & let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth
containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack
positions).
Oven Door
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & 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.
Stainless
Steel
(some models)
Clean
stainless steel
with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a 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 form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot
be removed.
