Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the

Cleaning recommendation table
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
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 OFF and if needed
remove any knobs from the panel. Clean using hot, soapy water and a
dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the dishcloth
before wiping the control panel; especially when wiping around the
controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a
dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before
wiping the control panel.
If your range finish is Easy Care™ Stainless Steel (some models),
clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or
cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT
use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other
types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine or
ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/
50 solution of water and vinegar.
Gentle scouring with a soapy non-abrasive 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 non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating.
