CARE & CLEANING (Cleaning Chart)

Cleaning various parts of your appliance

Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the appliance is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

Surfaces

soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray

 

liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of

 

water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to

 

the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or

 

paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF

 

position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning,

 

line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

 

 

Control Panel

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control

 

knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above.

 

Squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping

 

around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the

 

appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and

 

the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Porcelain Enamel

Cooktop Surface, Below Cooktop, Broiler Pan & Insert (some models), Door Liner, Oven Bottom

Clean broiler pan and insert (some models) in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Chrome Cooktop Surface

Cleaners made especially for stainless steel and chrome as Stainless Steel Magic, or other similar cleaners are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.

Oven Racks

Remove racks. See “To remove and to replace an oven rack” under Oven vent(s) and

 

 

racks. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with

 

 

clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax

 

 

 

 

paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the

 

 

racks glide easier into the rack positions).

Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
