How to Clean

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

Forgeneral cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Formore difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.

Before cleaning the controlpanel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. 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(s)into place.

Stainless Steel, Chrome Parts

Oven Racks

Clean 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 off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Remove the oven racks before starting a Self-Clean cycle for cleaning. After removal, 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 salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

Oven Door

See special Oven Door cleaning instructions under "Removing

and Replacing 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 the gasket.

 

Cleaning the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
