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	How to Clean
Aluminum (trim pieces) &	Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Vinyl

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

Clean burner grates, 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.

Stainless Steel			Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do
Oven Door & Drawer Front			not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not

			cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as
			bluish stains may occur during heating that 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
