CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling
as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty and time of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation
Aluminum and Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Use a soft cloth and clean with mild 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 oven
control 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.
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
insert
Door liner and body parts
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.
Oven racks
Glide racks
Oven racks and ladder racks must be removed from oven cavity before the clean cycle for
cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions.
Rinse with clean water and dry.
For instructions on how to care for your glide racks, see “Caring for Your Glide Racks” on
page 39
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 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.
The oven gasket located on the inner frame of the door and visible when the door is opened
is essential for a good seal. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On fresh clean models, the
oven door gasket is made of a woven material. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or
remove this gasket.
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.
