Cleaning
CAUTION
Wear the glove during cleaning
Control panel
First, lock the control panel and the door to prevent accidental operations and/or
product tipping.
1. Press and hold the START/SET pad for 3 seconds to lock both the control panel
and the door.
2. Clean the control panel using a soft cloth dampened with plain water, warm
soapy water, or glass cleaner. Do not spray cleansers directly onto the control
panel.
3. When done, press and hold the START/SET pad again for 3 seconds.
WARNING
• Make sure the control panel turns off and all surfaces of the range are cool
before cleaning. Otherwise, you can get burned.
• If the range has been moved away from the wall, make sure the anti-tip device is
reinstalled properly when the range has been put into place again. Otherwise, the
range may tip over, causing physical injuries.
• Do not use steel-wool or abrasive cleansers of any kind. These can scratch or
damage the surface.
Stainless steel surface
1. Remove any spills, spots, and grease stains using a soft, wet cloth.
2. Apply an approved stainless steel cleanser to a cloth or paper towel.
3. Clean one small area at a time, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if
applicable.
4. When done, dry the surface using a soft, dry cloth.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 as many times as necessary.
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleanser on stainless steel surfaces. It
will scratch the surface.
• Do not spray any type of cleanser into the manifold holes. The ignition system is
located in those holes and must be kept free of moisture.
Racks
To keep the racks clean, remove them from the cavity, and soak them in lukewarm
soapy water. Then, scour soil off of the racks using a plastic scouring pad. If the
racks do not slide in and out smoothly after you have cleaned them, rub the side
rail guides with wax paper or a cloth containing a few drops of cooking oil. This
will help the racks glide more easily on their tracks.
NOTES
• Do not put the racks in a dishwasher.
• If a rack does not slide in and out smoothly, apply a few drops of cooking oil to
the oven rack guides.
• If a rack becomes too difficult to slide in or out, lubricate the rack with graphite
lubricant.
• To purchase the graphite lubricant, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
• For online shopping, visit http://www.samsungparts.com/Default.aspx and search
for part DG81-01629A.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the racks in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle. The extreme
heat generated in this cycle can permanently peel off the rack coating and make
it difficult to slide the racks on the guide rails.
• Do not spray cooking oil or lubricant directly onto the racks.
Oven
• Wear the glove during cleaning.
