RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

  • Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.
  • Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

Cleaning Method:

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

  • Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain.

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING

Cleaning Method:

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

  1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.

    ■ For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop. ■ Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.
    Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.
  2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas.

    ■ Rub affresh® Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.

    See other models: GLT3057RQ AER5823XAS YKERS303BBL YKERS202BSS UXT5236BDS
    ■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.
  3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel

    ■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.
    The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order including the following:
    ■ Cooktop Scraper
    ■ Affresh® Cooktop Cleaner
    ■ Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

COOKTOP CONTROLS

To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaner.

To avoid damage, do not soak knobs. When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

Cleaning Method:

  • Soap and water: Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove

CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR

To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels.

Cleaning Method:

  • Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge: Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.
  • Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

OVEN RACKS

Cleaning Method:

  • Steel-wool pad
  • For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide
  • Dishwasher (steam rack water reservoir only, not racks): Although the water reservoir is durable, it may lose its shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher

STORAGE DRAWER OR WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

Check that storage drawer or warming drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.

Cleaning Method:

  • Mild detergent

OVEN CAVITY

Depending on your model, use AquaLift® Technology or SelfClean cycle regularly to clean oven spills.

Do not use oven cleaners

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

Cleaning Method:

  • Clean cycle: See “Clean Cycle” first

Clean Cycle

AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.

Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), it will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.

To Clean:

  1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity, and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils
  2. Pour distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven, and close the oven door.

    IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
  3. Press CLEAN or AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
  4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
  5. Press CANCEL, CANCEL UPPER or OFF at the end of the cycle. Cancel, Cancel Upper or Off may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
  6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.
  7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils. IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.

NOTES:

  • The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.
  • For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
  • Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.
  • Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
  • Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads (without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
  • Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils
  • Affresh® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh® Cooktop Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.
  • Additional AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.
