CARE & CLEANING
Surface type Recommendation
• Porcelain enamel broiler pan and broiler
pan insert (if equipped)
• Door liner & body parts
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more
difcult 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. To remove control knobs, turn to the
OFF position; grasp rmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the at sides of both the knob and the
shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed
remove any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water
and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the
dishcloth before wiping the 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.
• Stainless steel (some models)
• Oven racks
• Oven door
Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using
a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse
with clean water and dry.
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.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the
oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this
gasket.
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Surface
elements and drip bowls” in the Care & Cleaning section.

Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with
clean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concen-
trations of chlorides or chlorine. 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 non-abrasive scouring pad will remove
most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If
necessary, cover difcult 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-lled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating.
