Oven Knob (on some models)
The control knob (lower oven only) may be
removed for easier cleaning.
Before removing the knob for cleaning,
please note that the knob is in the OFF
position. When replacing the knob,
check the OFF position to insure proper
placement.
Wash the knob in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.
The knob stem is D shaped. Install the flat
of the shaft to the flat of the knob.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control
panel after each use. Clean with mild
soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleansers on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
Broiler Pan & Grid
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-
cleaning oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out the grease from
the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid
in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking
the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven.

Glass Surfaces
To clean the outside glass finish, use a
glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a
dry cloth.
Do not allow the water or cleaner
to run down inside the oven door
while cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
Clean with soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated. To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.
