Table 5: Cleaning recommendations
Surface Type Recommendation
Control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trim
Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a
liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 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 OFF
position. Grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides
of both knob and shaft, then push knob into place.
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. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to 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. When rinsing, use clean water and a cloth or
sponge and be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping the control panel.
Porcelain enamel parts and door liner 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. 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 interior For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean. Clean any
soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important cleaning precautions
be sure to read all the instructions in the
“Self Clean” section of the Oven Controls chapter on page 28.
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, dry, and then replace in oven.
Oven 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 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.
Ceramic cooktop Do not use spray oen cleaners on the cooktop. See
“Cooktop Maintenance” on page 28.
Stainless Steel (some models) 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.
Black Stainless Steel (some models) Clean stainless steel with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry
with a soft, clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types
of cleaners containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap
and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
