Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

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

Surfaces	How to Clean

Aluminum & Vinyl	Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Painted and Plastic Control	Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
Knobs, Body Parts, and	and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass
Decorative Trim	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.

Easy Care™ Stainless	Your range finish is may be made with Easy Care™ Stainless Steel (some models).
Steel (some models) Oven	Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with
Door & Drawer Front Panel and	clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners like
Decorative Trim	Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive,
	chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or
	a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Surface Elements and Drip	Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.
Bowls (some models)	The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
	element will burn off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth any
	remaining soil will burn off the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A SURFACE
	ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface element and drip bowls, follow the instructions
	under General Cleaning.
	To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still
	warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about
	20 minute in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts ammonia and
	water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleanser or steel
	wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and dry
	with a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the instructions under
	General Cleaning.

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