Oven racks must be removed from oven before starting self-

clean cycle. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following

manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

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. On self-cleaning models the oven door

gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal.

Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

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.
