With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven―top, bottom, sides,
back and inside of the door―will stay new-
looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen
the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor―it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe
the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as
a change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of
the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.
The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

If your range is removed for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be sure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged properly
when the range is replaced. Failure
to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and cause injury.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has
an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has
become displaced on the door, you should
have it replaced.
To clean the inside of the door:
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
The area outside the gasket and the door
liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled
or plastic scouring pad, hot water and
detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar
and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.
Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When surface is
cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders
or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
