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.

 

 

 

Control panel

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF and if needed remove any

Decorative trim (some models)

knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to

 

 

squeeze excess water from the dishcloth before wiping the control panel;

 

 

especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the

 

 

controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, 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 heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and

 

 

a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or

 

 

chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are

 

 

especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to wipe the cleaners off

 

 

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

 

 

Oven interior & door liner

Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots.

Porcelainenamelbroilerpanand

Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult

 

broiler pan insert (some models)

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 non-abrasive scouring pad.

 

 

Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or

 

 

acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the

 

 

surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

 

 

The oven interior is porcelain coated and is safe to clean using oven cleaners

 

 

following manufacturer's instructions. After cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or the

 

 

porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven cleaner on

 

 

any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner to build up on

 

 

the oven temperature sensing bulb. Do not spray cleaner on oven door trim, door

 

 

gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range.

 

 

Clean any soils from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and

 

 

the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water.

 

 

Rinse using clean water and a cloth.

 

 

 

Oven racks

Remove oven racks from oven before cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive

 

 

cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

 

 

 

Oven door

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 the glass cleaner

 

 

to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any

 

 

harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

Surface elements and drip bowls

Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Surface elements and drip bowls” in the Care & Cleaning section.
