Care and Cleaning

 

Oven Interior (non-self clean models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or

pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold

oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor–it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Troubleshooting Tips

 

Consumer Support

 

 

Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand on self-clean models.

The area outside the gasket and the front frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way, or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for cleaning.

Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the oven is completely cool.

To remove the door, open it to the special stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges and slowly lower it over both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled, steel-wool pads may also

be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To clean the outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
