Cleaning recommendation table
Surface type Recommendation
• Control knobs (some models)
• Painted body parts
• Painted decorative trim
• Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difcult
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 rmly and pull straight
off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the at sides of both
knob and shaft; then push knob into place.
• Control panel
• Control key pad 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 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.
• Easy Care™ Stainless Steel
(some models)
If your range nish is Easy Care™ Stainless Steel (some models), clean
the stainless 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 any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended
to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
• Porcelain enamel parts
• Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
broiler pan insert (if equipped)
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most
spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary,
cover difcult 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-lled no-scratch cleaning 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 lling) to remain on the surface; they may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
• 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 preparation information be sure to
read all the instructions in the Self-Cleaning section
.
• Oven racks Oven racks must be removed from oven. Do not clean oven racks
in oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove and clean using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Thoroughly rinse
and dry.
• 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. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-
cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
remove this gasket.
