Recommendation

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30- 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 OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven lockout (on some models) and if needed remove any knobs from panel. 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.

Gentle scubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1solution 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-scratch cleaning 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.

For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Select Clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important cleaning precautions be sure to read all the instructions in the Select Clean section.

Remove oven rocks from oven cavity before starting Select Clean. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry and then replace in oven.

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.
Surface elements and drip	Do not	use spray		oven cleaners on the cooktop. See "Surface elements and drip
bowls	bowls"	in the	Care		&	Cleaning		section.

Stainless Steel (some models)Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured 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.
