CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty and time of major cleaning later.

soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray

 

liquids directly on the oven control 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.

 

 

Stainless Steel

Your oven finish may be made with stainless steel (some models). Clean the

 

stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean

 

water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like

 

stainless steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlo-

 

rides, chlorine or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a

 

50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

Door liner and body parts

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, and 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.

Oven racks

Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive

 

cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

 

 

Oven door

Use soap and 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 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. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket is

 

made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken

 

not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

 

 

Oven interior
