Cleaning - Oven

Daily Cleaning

Daily cleaning of the inside of the oven is not necessary. When soil builds up, use the self-clean function as explain in “Self Cleaning the Oven” on page 34. See “Oven Cleaning Chart” on page 33 for instructions for specific surfaces and items.

Cleaning Guidelines

Avoid these cleaners	• Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
Table 10: Oven Cleaning Chart
Part	Recommendations
Racks	Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap filled
	pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will lose their shiny fin-
	ish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil,
	then wipe off excess.
Fiberglass Gasket	DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.
Glass	Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease spatters
	and stubborn stains.
Painted Surfaces	Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and
	wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
