Care and Cleaning
Table 4: Cleaning Recommendations
Surface Type Recommendation
Aluminum and Vinyl • Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Painted and Plastic Control Knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
• Use a soft cloth and 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 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.
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. Use hot, soapy
water and a cloth or sponge to clean. 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. Use clean
water to rinse. Use a cloth or sponge. Squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before
wiping the control panel.
Stainless Steel (some models) Only • 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.
Easy Clean™ 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.
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
insert (available by mail order)
Door liner and body parts
• 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. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating.
• 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 racks • Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting self clean. Clean by using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
