Maintaining your appliance
Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim
• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot, soapy water.
• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly
onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these surfaces. They can scratch.
Cleaning stainless steel surfaces
1. Shake the bottle of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or Polish well.
2. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp
cloth or damp paper towel.
3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
• Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.
• If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner has been used before to
clean the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior
to using the Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or Polish.
Oven racks
• If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn
slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete
and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth
containing a small amount of oil. This will help the racks glide more easily on
their tracks.
• Gliding racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool.
During cleaning, be careful not to allow water or cleaner to enter the slides on
the sides of rack.
NOTE
• Do not clean in a dishwasher.
• If the rack becomes hard to remove or replace, lightly wipe the oven rack
guides with cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the slides.
• If the rack becomes difficult to slide, the rack may need to be lubricated using a
graphite lubricant.
