before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as
bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot de removed. To replace knobs after
cleaning, line up the fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Using a soft cloth, dean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass
cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the
control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess

abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove
control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off: the shaft. To replace

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 off: 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 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. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on
the cooktop.
Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven
Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean
water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth
containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).
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 wafer 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. 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.
