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 number of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation

Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Plastic
Use hot, soapy water and dry with a clean cloth. 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.
