Use a soft cloth and clean 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 oven control and
display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control
area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.

chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. 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 cloth or
sponge. Use clean water to rinse; use a cloth to dry.

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.
