Cleaning the Range – Exterior
CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning the Range – Exterior
WARNING
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-
tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious
burns to children or adults. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers,
strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders
on the interior or exterior of the range.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Lockout
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before
cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this
manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use
abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.
Range Exterior
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water
solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the
doors, and top of control panel. Clean these with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders,
steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in
the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the
Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of
this manual.
