	Surface type	Recommendation

•	Control knobs	For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
•	Painted body parts	built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to
•	Painted decorative trim	60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any
• Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim		of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF
	pieces	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 OFF and if needed remove any
• Decorative trim (some models)		knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to
		squeeze excess water from the dishcloth before wiping the control panel;
		especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the
		controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a
		dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the
		control panel.

• Stainless Steel (some models)		Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and
		a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or
		chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are
		especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to wipe the cleaners off
		from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

• Oven interior & door liner		Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots.
• Porcelainenamelbroilerpanand		Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult
	broiler pan insert (some models)	spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean
		water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad.
		Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
		acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
		surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
		The oven interior is porcelain coated and is safe to clean using spray oven cleaners
		following manufacturer's instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or the
		porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven cleaner on
		any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner to build up on
		the oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven door trim, door
		gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range.
		Clean any soils from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and
		the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water.
		Rinse using clean water and a cloth.

•	Oven racks	Remove oven racks from oven before cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive
		cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

•	Oven door	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.
