Care and Cleaning - Oven
Self Cleaning the Oven Our ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high
temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
• Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-
Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the
oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening
the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
Table 9: Cooktop Care Chart
Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or foil. All these items
require immediate removal. Remove only
these types of spills while the surface is hot
using the razor blade scraper. Be sure to use
a new, sharp razor in your scraper. Remove pan and turn off the element.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30
o
angle, using care not to
gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area.
After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and
specks Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for about
30 minutes.
Use a plastic scrubber and glass ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the
razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.
Greasy spatters Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly and
dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave marks.
Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon
Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a dampened paper towel.
Rinse and reapply creme. Failure to remove metal marks before the
next heating makes removal very difficult.
Hard Water Spots - Hot cooking liquids
dripped on surface The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and
cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition
with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Surface scratches - Small scratches are to
be expected on the glass surface, but do not
affect cooking. In time, small scratches will
become smoother and much less noticeable
with daily use of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-like grains and grit
such as salt and seasoning.
Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and
dry before use. Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily
on the cooktop.
