CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
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.
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later
Figure 35: Use cleaners with caution
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure 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 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 body parts 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.
Decorative trims 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.
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 appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper
towels - they will damage the finish.

Door liner and body parts
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.
Oven racks
Glide racks
Oven racks and ladder racks must be removed from oven cavity before the clean cycle for
cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse
with clean water and dry.
