MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Exterior
Painted and Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy
water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave it
on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and
dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
To avoid scratches, do not use steel wool pads.
1
Place a small amount of stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or
paper towel.
2
Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the
stainless steel if applicable.
3
Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft
cloth.
4
Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
•
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 in the direction of the metal
surface finish.
•
Stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish can
be purchased online or from most retailers of
appliances or home goods.
Front Manifold Panel and Knobs
It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use
of the range. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild
soapy water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
For rinsing, use clean water and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
The control knobs may be removed for easy cleaning.
1
To clean the knobs, make sure that they are in
the Off position and pull them straight off the
stems.
2
To replace the knobs, make sure that the knobs
have the Off position centered at the top, and
slide the knobs directly onto the stem.
CAUTION
•
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the manifold panel. Doing so will
damage the finish.
•
Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them
up or down, and do not hang a towel or other
objects on them.
NOTE
To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials.
Oven Racks
Remove the oven racks before operating the self
clean cycle.
1
Food spilled into the tracks could cause the
racks to become stuck. Clean with a mild,
abrasive cleaner.
2
Rinse with clean water and dry.
NOTE
If the racks are cleaned using the self clean cycle
(not recommended), the color will turn slightly
blue and the finish will become dull. After the self
clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled,
rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a
cloth containing a small amount of oil. This will
make the racks glide more easily into the rack
tracks.
