•
Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.
• Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.
• Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.

Oven Care and Cleaning
Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Or, gently rub with Soft Scrub ® , Bon-Ami ® ,
Comet ® , Ajax ® , Brillo ® or S.O.S. ® pads as directed. Easy Off ® or Dow ® Oven Cleaners (cold oven
formula) can be used, but may cause darkening and discoloration.
If Racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will lose their shiny finish and
permanently change to a metallic gray.
Coat rack slides lightly with vegetable oil if they do not
slide well. The Extendable Rack (C oven models) should not be left in oven during self-clean.
DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.
Spray Windex ® or Glass Plus ® onto a cloth first, then wipe to clean. Use Fantastik ® or Formula
409 ® to remove grease spatters.
Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik ® or Formula 409 ® first to a clean sponge or paper
towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers and steel wool pads.
Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a
moistened sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon-
Ami
® or Soft Scrub ® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, gently use Brillo ® or
S.O.S. ® pads. It is normal for porcelain to craze (fine lines) with age due to exposure from heat
and food soil.
Clean with hot sudsy water and sponge or plastic scrubber. Rub stubborn stains with vinegar,
Windex
® , ammonia or Bon-Ami ® . DO NOT USE HARSH ABRASIVES.
Always wipe or rub with grain. Clean with a soapy sponge; rinse and dry. Or, wipe with Fantastik ®
or Formula 409 ® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic ® and
a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use Zud ® , Cameo ® or
Barkeeper's Friend ® to remove heat discoloration.
