Care & Cleaning (Cleaning Chart)

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range 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 & Vinyl

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Painted and Plastic Control

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar

Knobs, Body Parts, and

and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth.

Decorative Trim

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 some 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 (some models) Oven Door & Drawer Front Panel and Decorative Trim

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.

Porcelain Enamel

Broiler Pan and Insert (some models), Door Liner, Body Parts and Warmer Drawer and Drawer Cavity

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. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Oven Racks

Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their colors turn slightly

 

blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then remove

 

the oven racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount

 

of baby or salad oil; this will make the oven racks glide easier back in and out of their

 

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.
