Cleaning Recommendations

Type Cleaning Recommendation

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners these surfaces; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

		use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water
		from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.

•Stainless Steel (some models)

Clean stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft clean cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

•Porcelain enamel parts

•Broiler pan and broiler pan insert

Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning 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 mins. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled no-scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on surfaces; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

•	Oven interior	Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting
		self-clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the
		oven door gasket. For important preparation information be sure to read
		all the instructions in the self-cleaning section.
•	Oven racks	Do not clean oven racks in oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove
		and clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
		instructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry.

• Oven door

• Ceramic cooktop

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 glass cleaner to enter the door vents. To avoid scratches, 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. On self-cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
