For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Formoredifcult
soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave
on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn
to the OFF position; grasp rmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs
after cleaning, line up the at sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the
knob into place.
• Control panel
• Decorative trim (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove
any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure
to squeeze excess water from the dishcloth before wiping the control panel;
especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the
controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and
a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the
control panel.
• Oven interior & door liner
• Porcelain enamel broiler pan
and broiler pan insert (some
models)
Gentle scouring 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 difcult
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-lled non-abrasive scouring
pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to
remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The oven interior is porcelain coated and is safe to clean using oven cleaners
following manufacturer’s instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or
the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven
cleaner on any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner
to build up on the oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven
door trim, door gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the
range.
Clean any soils from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse using clean water and a cloth.
• Oven racks Remove oven racks from oven before cleaning. Clean by using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and
dry.
• Oven door Use soap & 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 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.
