Decorative trim (some models)

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate controls lock (if equipped) and remove any knobs from panel (some models). Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping 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.

Porcelain enamel parts

Porcelain enamel broiler pan and broiler pan insert (if equipped)

Gentle scubbing with a soapy no-scratchcleaning 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 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled no-scratchcleaning 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 the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Oven interior

Remove excessive spillovers from oven bottom before starting self-clean.

 

 

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

 

 

For very important prepartion information be sure to read all the instructions in

 

 

the self-cleaning section.

 

 

 

Oven racks

Do not clean oven racks in oven using the self-clean cycle. Remove

 

 

oven racks and clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's

 

 

instructions. Thoroughly rinse 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. 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.

Stainless steel (some models)

Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically made for cleaning stainless steel. Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
