Cleaning - Oven

Daily Cleaning

Daily cleaning of the inside of the oven is not necessary. When soil builds up, use the self-clean function as explain in “Self Cleaning the Oven” on page 42. See “Oven Cleaning Chart” on page 41 for instructions for specific surfaces and items.

Cleaning Guidelines

Avoid these cleaners	• Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
	• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40
Table 10: Oven Cleaning Chart
Part	Recommendations
Racks	Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or
	soap filled pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they
	will lose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with
	a small amount of vegetable oil, then wipe off excess.
Door Gasket	DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.
Glass	Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease
	spatters and stubborn stains.
Painted Surfaces	Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper
	towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Porcelain Surfaces	Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a
	moistened sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon-
	Ami® or Soft Scrub® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap filled
	pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.
Stainless Surfaces	Always wipe or rub with grain. Clean with a soapy sponge then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fan-
	tastik® or Formula 409® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel
	Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use
	Bar Keeper’s Friend® to remove heat discoloration.
Plastic & Controls	When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
