IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door or cooktop. They could damage
the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.

Consumer Support
Troubleshooting Tips
Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details
before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath
the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip
the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within
4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the
range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the
anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not
be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid

holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry,
and rivets on clothing.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop become broken.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring
utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use.
They may become hot and could cause burns.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar
spills are the exception to this. Please see the
Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only the
CERAMA BRYTE
®
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner
and the CERAMA BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.

Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
WARNING!
OVEN
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (on some models)
and all other cookware.
Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

About the radiant surface units.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
About the radiant surface units
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are
on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high. Always use
caution when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when the
surface unit is turned on.
The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator
light will glow when its corresponding
radiant element is turned on and will
remain on until the surface has cooled
below 150°F.
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
Come on when the surface unit is
turned on.
Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 150°F.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will
remove this discoloration.
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cooktop glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended—unless designed specifically
for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb
heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.

For Best Results
Place only dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the
surface elements, particularly wet
lids.
Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not heat
on glass surface elements.
We recommend that you use only a
flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same
diameter as the surface element
to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures
require specific cookware such as
pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc.
All cookware must have flat bottoms
and be the correct size.
Do not place wet pans
on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.
Use flat-bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the
ceramic cooktop.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 4–6 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1to 1

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 10–15 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1to 1
1
2of air space around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D.
Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly
above the other.

Adjust the upper or lower oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the
fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads
give very good results with multi-rack
baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the second (A) position, another
rack in the fourth (C) position and the
third rack in the sixth (E) position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the

Introduction
Convection Fan Operation
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over,
under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are
evenly cooked and browned—often in less time
with convection heat.
NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.
The convection fan shuts off when the
oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the
door open for long periods of time while
using convection cooking or you may
shorten the life of the convection heating
element.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking, but should not
be used at temperatures higher than
the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air
cannot circulate well around food
in a pan with high sides.

The display will flash PROBE and the oven
control will signal if the probe is inserted
into the outlet, and you have not set a probe
temperature and pressed the START pad.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word
LO will be in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F, the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of
the meat reaches the number you
have set, the probe and the oven
turn off and the oven control signals.
To stop the signal, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to
remove the probe from the food.
Do not use tongs to pull on it—

CAUTION: To prevent possible
burns, do not unplug the probe from the oven
outlet until the oven has cooled.
NOTE:
You will hear a fan while cooking with this
feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
You can use the Kitchen Timer even though you
cannot use timed oven operations.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
Probe not for use in Broil or Self-Clean functions.
Fan only rotates in one direction.
For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.
To change the oven temperature
during the Convection Roast cycle,
touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad
and then touch the number pads to
set the new desired temperature.

Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Food should be kept hot in its cooking container
or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
Repeated opening of the door allows the hot air
to escape and the food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing

How to Set the Upper/Lower Oven for Cleaning
The oven doors must be closed and all
controls set correctly for the cycle to work
properly.
Touch the SELF CLEAN HI/LO pad
once for a 5-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills.
A self-clean time of 5 hours is
recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 5 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired
clean time.
You can change the clean time to
any time between 3 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The upper and lower oven doors
lock automatically. The cooktop elements
are also locked out during self-clean.
The display will show the clean time
remaining. It will not be possible to
open the oven doors or use the cooktop
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and LOCKED goes off
in the control display.
When LOCKED goes off, you will be able to
open the doors.
The word LOCKED will flash and the
word door will display if you set the
clean cycle and forget to close the
oven doors.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When LOCKED goes off,
indicating the ovens have cooled below
the locking temperature, you will be
able to open the doors.
You can set a clean cycle in both ovens
at the same time; however, they will not
self-clean at the same time. The last oven
set will automatically delay its start until
the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
When an oven is set to self-clean, both
oven doors will lock and the cooktop
controls will lock out. The ovens and
cooktop cannot be used when an
oven is set to self-clean.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the
oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with
a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean
cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
You cannot set the oven for cooking or
another self-clean cycle until the oven
is cool enough for the door to unlock.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the TIMER/CLOCK or CLOCK pad
(depending on model) to display the
time of day. To return to the clean
countdown, touch the SELF CLEAN

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.
Cleaning the Upper and Lower Oven Doors
To clean the inside of the doors:
Because the area inside the gasket is

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 steel wool or plastic pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
To clean the outside of the doors:
Use soap and water to thoroughly

Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the broil element. Any soil
will burn off when the element is heated.
Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy
water.
On some models, the bake element is not exposed
and is under the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or
ash accumulate on the oven floor,
wipe up before self-cleaning.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Oven Light Bulbs
NOTE: The glass cover should be
removed only when cold. Wearing latex
gloves may offer a better grip.
CAUTION: Before replacing
your oven light bulb, disconnect the
electrical power to the range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb
cool completely.
For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb
with bare hands or a damp cloth.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover
counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the
tabs of the glass cover clear the
grooves of the socket.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb by pulling it straight out.
To replace:
Use a new 130-volt halogen bulb,
not to exceed 50 watts.
Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove
the bulb from its packaging. Do not
touch the bulb with bare fingers.
Push the bulb straight into the
receptacle all the way.
Place the tabs of the glass cover into
the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
For improved lighting inside
the oven, clean the glass cover
frequently using a wet cloth. This
should be done when the oven is
completely cool.
Reconnect electrical power to

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the door,
top of the control panel and the drawer
front. 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.

Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand
with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth. Gray
porcelain-coated oven racks may remain
in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle
without being damaged. The nickel-
plated oven racks may remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle,
but they will lose their luster and become
hard to slide. It will be necessary to grease
all oven rack side edges with a light
coating of vegetable oil after cleaning
them by hand or in the oven. This will
help maintain the ease of sliding the
racks in and out of the oven.
GEAppliances.com
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.

steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to
