For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more 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. 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.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a 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.

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 from the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning.

 

 

When removed, 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 of baby oil or salad

 

oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack 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.
