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

COOKTOP CONTROLS

Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

Do not soak knobs. When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

■Soap and water or dishwasher:

Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.

CONTROL PANEL

Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may occur.

■Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.

Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.

Do not clean in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

■Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser:

Clean as soon as cooktop, grates and caps are cool.

■Dishwasher (grates only, not caps): Use the most aggressive cycle.

SURFACE BURNERS

See “Sealed Surface Burners” section.

OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR

■Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.

OVEN CAVITY

Do not use oven cleaners.

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

■Self-Cleaning cycle: See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” first.
