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, non-stick coating that makes soils easier to remove.

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel- wool pads, gritty washcloths or some 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 tbsp. (15 mL) of either lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.

CONTROL PANEL

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

Unplug oven or disconnect power to avoid touch screen activation.

Use gentle pressure when wiping the touch screen.
