Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40

 

 

 

 

 

minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping

 

 

 

 

 

the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or

 

 

 

 

 

around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made

 

 

 

 

 

especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic

 

 

 

 

 

American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the

 

 

 

 

 

manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may

the cooktop.

 

 

Oven Racks

Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for

 

 

 

 

 

cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

has cooled, 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 rack positions).

 

 

Oven Door

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT

 

 

 

 

 

immerse the door in water.

 

 

 

 

 

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 the gasket.
