General Care & Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the oven is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND
HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE EXTENT AND DIFFICULTY OF
MAJOR CLEANING LATER.
Surfaces How to Clean
Aluminum (Trim Pieces) Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Do not scour or use all-purpose
&Vlnyl cleaners, ammonia, powdered cleaners or commercial oven cleaner. They can scratch and
discolor aluminum.
Painted and Plastic Control
Panel, Body Parts, and
Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more dimcult soils and built-up
grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials;
they can scratch.
Stainless Steel, Chrome
Control Panel, Decorative
Trim
To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hob soapy water and a dishcloth.
Rinse with clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth
before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

models), Door Liner, Body

Oven Racks
Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with dean water and a
cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use
harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may
occur during heating that cannot be removed.
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 dimcult 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 dean cloth. Remove all cleaners
or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven
cleaners on the cooktop.
Porcelain Coated Racks:
Some ovens come with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off: the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To
maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of
the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes dimcult to slide.

Chrome Oven Racks:
Some models come with chrome oven racks, which have to be removed from the oven
during the self-clean cycle or else their finish will turn dull and their color slightly blue.
If left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the
racks glide easier into the rack position). Clean chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner
following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with dean water and dry.
Use soap & water to thoroughly dean 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 clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material,
on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove this gasket.
