Recommendation
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 Before cleaning the control panel, turn ali controls OFF and if needed remove any
Decorative trim (some models) knobs from panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to
squeeze excess water from dishcloth 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 dishcloth and be
sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
Oven interior Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots.
Porcelain enamel parts & door Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult
liner 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 a high
sugar or acid content (mill<, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The oven interior is porcelain coated and safe to clean with 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 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 oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. Clean with
hot, soapy water. Rinse using dean water and a cloth. For additional cleaning
information see General cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section.
Oven racks Remove oven racks from oven cavity before cleaning. 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 & 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.
Stainless Steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes that are 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. 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 hob soapy water and
a dishcloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
Cooktop surface Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See Cleaning the cooktop and
Surface burners burner grates instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section.
