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 appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

■Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model and serial number plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Polishing Creme, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may occur.

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

■Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (not included): See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

■Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner: Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

■Vinegar for hard water spots.

CERAMIC GLASS (on some models)

Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.

Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to prevent streaking and staining.

Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended regularly to help prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition the cooktop, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to order.

A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor blades out of the reach of children.

Light to moderate soil

■Paper towels or clean damp sponge: Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear oven mitts while doing so.

Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)

■Cooktop Scraper: Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear oven mitts while cleaning the cooktop.
