OVEN CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
GREASE FILTERS
Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-
based oven cleaners.
■
Hot water and mild detergent:
Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt
and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.
■
Dishwasher:
Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be
trapped in the filters.
OVEN CAVITY
The gray finish inside the oven cavity is a durable, non-stick
coating that makes soils easier to remove.
Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may
occur.
The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed
should be kept clean.

Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
