How to Clean:

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soil 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.

_Before cleaning the glass controlpanel make sure all surface controls are are turned OFF and activate the Oven Lockout feature (See page 17 for complete Oven Lockout instructions).

Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth then rinse with clean water. 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.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. This type of cleaner will permanently scratch the glass control panel. DO NOT place or leave cleaning supplies on the ceramic cooktop while cleaning the glass control panel. Move these items to a kitchen counter-top. To finish cleaning or for lighter soil use a typical household glass cleaner and paper towels.

Clean Stainless Steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean 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 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 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 Oven Racks may be left in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle. Iffurther cleaning is required, remove the racks after the oven has cooled & clean using a mild non- abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and let dry.

After the Self-Clean cycle is done and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of vegetable oil. This will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions.

To clean Oven Door follow the instructions in Removing & Replacing Lift-Off Oven and the Door Care Instructions in the General Care & Cleaning section. Wash soiled areas with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.

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.

See Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Caps, Burner Heads & Grates in the General Care & Cleaning section for complete instructions.
