For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult 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 firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up
the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

Remove oven racks from oven cavity before cleaning. Clean by using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry

Cleaning recommendation table
Stainless Steel (on some models) Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured for cleaning
stainless steel. Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess
cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future
oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and
a dishcloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF 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.
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.
Gentle scubbing 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 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 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 filling) to remain on the
surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The oven interior is porcelain coated and safe to clean with oven cleaners following
manufacturer's instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven cleaner on any
electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner to build up on
oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven door trim, door
gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range. Clean
any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. Clean with
hot, soapy water. Rinse using clean water and a cloth. For additional cleaning
information see “General cleaning” in the Care & Cleaning section.
Surface elements and drip bowls
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Surface elements and drip
bowls” in the Care & Cleaning section.
