Care and Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, ensure 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, plastic, or vinyl trim
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.

tainless Steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes 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. 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. Use clean water to
rinse; use a cloth to dry.

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.
O
ven interior Remove oven racks from the oven cavity before cleaning the oven interior. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Porcelain oven racks
Porcelain Glide racks
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable lubrication off the racks. It is important that
the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal
rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every
self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide
See “Caring for the glide racks” on
page 26.
O
ven 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 door glass. 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 is essential for a good seal. It is located on the inner frame of the door and visible
when the door is opened. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self clean models, the oven door
gasket is made of a woven material. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.
