Cleaning and Maintenance

2.The self-clean mode may produce ash which will settle in the bottom of the oven. If this happens, remove ash with a damp cloth before using the oven.

3.Wipe rack edges with cooking oil to allow for proper glide. Wipe off excess.

After self-cleaning, the entire oven can be safely cleaned with a soapy sponge, rinsed and dried. If stubborn soil remains, follow the guidelines on this page.

•Always use the mildest cleaner that will remove the soil.

•Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.

•Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.

•Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not drip into door slots.

•Dry to avoid water marks.

•Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.

The cleaners listed below indicate types of products to use and are not being endorsed. Use all products according to package directions.

Racks

Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or

 

soap (Oven)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.
