Care and Cleaning
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Important notes:
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements
under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much
lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed,
but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface,
permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Cleaning under bake element (some models)
The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity. For some
models, if the lower bake element is visible it may be tilted up
for easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Remove the
oven racks before raising the element. Be careful not to raise the
element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Manual clean oven interior The oven interior is porcelain coated and safe to clean using oven cleaners. Always follow
manufacturer's instructions for cleaners. 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 probe. Do not spray cleaner on oven door trim, door gasket, plastic
drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the appliance.
Oven door Use mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water to clean the
top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. Glass cleaner may be used on the outside
glass of the door. Ceramic smoothtop cleaner or polish may be used on the interior door
glass. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or cleaners 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.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material
which is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or remove this gasket.
