General Care & Cleaning

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the oven is COOL. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning NOW will reduce the EXTENT AND DIFFICUTY of major cleaning later.

and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water using a dishcloth. 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. To

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

push the knob into place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

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

Liner, Body Parts

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. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Oven Racks

This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
