Care and Cleaning
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning
later.
• Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all
controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
• If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be
removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed
before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and
provide adequate ventilation.
Figure 17: Use cleaners with caution
Surface or Area Cleaning Recommendation
Aluminum and vinyl Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water. Rinse with clean water, dry and polish
with a soft, clean cloth.
Painted and plastic control knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Rinse with clean water, dry and polish with a soft, clean cloth. Glass cleaners may be used,
but do not apply directly to surface; spray onto cloth and wipe.
Control panel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. 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 appli-
ance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will
damage the finish.
Control knobs Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. To remove control knobs: turn to the OFF position, grasp firmly, and pull off the shaft. To
replace knobs after cleaning, line up the OFF markings and push the knobs into place.
Stainless Steel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use cleaners containing abrasives,
chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia.
Easy Clean Stainless Steel
Black Stainless Steel
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use appliance cleaner, stainless steel
cleaner, or cleaner containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. These cleaners may
damage the finish.
Porcelain-enameled broiler pan and insert
Porcelain door liner
Porcelain body parts
Glide racks
Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth. Scrub gently with a soapy, non-abrasive scouring pad to
remove most spots. Rinse with a 50/50 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover
difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or future heating could damage the porcelain. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on porcelain surfaces. These spills may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The Glide rack is porcelain enameled and may be left in the oven to be cleaned during the self-clean
cycle. After the cycle, or anytime the gliding is rough, the Glide rack extension tracks should be
treated with graphite lubrication.
Self-cleaning oven interior Before setting a self-clean cycle, clean soils from the oven frame, areas outside the oven door gasket,
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. See
“Self Clean” on page 34.
