How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Do not scour or use all-
purpose cleaners, ammonia, powdered cleaners or commercial oven cleaner. They
can scratch and discolor aluminum.
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 to
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 the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off
the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and
the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control
knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water
and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess
water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.
To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.
Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water
and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines.
Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially
made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the
surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
1:1 solution 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 scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with
a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during
future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Non Self-Clean Models: Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of
the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil
(this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
Self-Clean Models: Remove the oven racks during the self-clean cycle or they will be
permanently damaged by the high cleaning temperature. If the racks are cleaned in
the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After
the self-clean cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks
with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will
make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
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.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
