Oven Racks	Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a
	mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner’s recommendations. Rinse with clean water & let 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 oven rack positions).

Oven Door Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & 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.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic Glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new range. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad such as a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of the cooktop cleaning cream (cleaner must be recommended for Ceramic Glass cooktops) directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-PurposeNo Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of the cooktop cleaning cream (cleaner must be recommended for Ceramic Glass cooktops) directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-PurposeNo Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Once the sponge has been used on the cooktop, do not use the sponge for any other purpose.
