Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the effort required for major cleanings later.

	minutes. Rinse. 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. Cleaners made
	especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic
	American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the
	manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may
	occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning,

	cleaning. If 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).

	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.
