How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Do not scour or use all-purpose

cleaners, ammonia, powdered cleaners or commercial oven cleaner. They can scratch and discolor aluminum.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more dimcuit 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 fiat 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 hob soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with 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 fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with dean water and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover dimcuit 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 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.

Porcelain Coated Racks:

Some ovens come with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off: the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes dimcuit to slide.
