OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

GREASE FILTERS

Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye- based oven cleaners.

■Hot water and mild detergent:

Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

■Dishwasher:

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be trapped in the filters.

OVEN CAVITY

The gray finish inside the oven cavity is a durable, nonstick coating that makes soils easier to remove.

Do not use metal or sharp utensils or scrapers, soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels. Damage may occur.

The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

Average soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Heavy soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in oven. Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Odors

■Lemon juice or vinegar:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbs (15 mL) of either lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.

Microwave Inlet Cover

The microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be kept clean to avoid arcing and oven damage.

■Wipe with wet cloth.

Convection Screen

■Wipe with wet cloth.

CONTROL PANEL/INTERACTIVE TOUCH DISPLAY

Activate the Child Lock to avoid touch screen activation during cleaning. See “Child Lock” section.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads or gritty washcloths. Damage may occur.

Use gentle pressure when wiping the touch screen.

■Glass cleaner and soft cloth:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth, not directly on panel.

■Mild soap, water and soft washcloth

OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR

The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

■Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad:

Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel- wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may occur.

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

■Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (not included): See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

■Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

■Vinegar for hard water spots

STEAMER VESSEL

Stubborn Stains

To remove stains such as tomato sauce, use a nonabrasive cleanser, a no-scratch pad, or a solution of dishwasher detergent and water (1/4 cup [60 mL] detergent to 1 cup [250 mL] warm water).

TURNTABLE

Replace turntable immediately after cleaning. Do not operate the microwave oven without the turntable in place.
