Stainless steel (some models)

water and a dishcloth. Rinse with 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.

 

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 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.

 

 

Porcelain enamel broiler pan and

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a

insert (if equipped)

1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an

Door 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.

 

 

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.

 

For some models with chrome oven racks, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner

 

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

 

 

Oven door

Use soap & 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 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.
