Daily Cleaning
Daily cleaning of the inside of the oven is not necessary. When soil builds up, use
the self-clean function as explain in “Self Cleaning the Oven” on page 34. See
“Oven Cleaning Chart” on page 33 for instructions for specific surfaces and items.
Cleaning Guidelines
Avoid these cleaners • Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
Grates / Porcelain Enamel on Cast
Iron • Hot water and detergent. Rinse
and dry immediately
• Nonabrasive cleaners such as
Fantastic
® or Formula 409 ® .
Rinse and dry immediately.
• Mild abrasive cleaners such as
Bon Ami
® or Soft Scrub ® .
• The grates are heavy; use care
when lifting. Place on a protected
surface.
• Blisters / crazing / chips are com-
mon due to the extreme tempera-
tures on grate fingers and rapid
temperatures changes.
• Acidic and sugar-laden spills
deteriorate the enamel. Remove
soil immediately
• Abrasive cleaners, used too vigor-
ously or too often, can eventually
mar the enamel.
Igniters / Ceramics • Carefully wipe with a cotton swab
dampened with water, ammonia
or a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Formula 409
®
.
• Gently scrape soil off with a tooth-
pick.
• Keep the ignitor ports clean for
proper performance. It is neces-
sary to clean these when there is
a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the
electronic ignitors click.
• A damp igniter will prevent burner
from igniting. For proper burner
performance, keep ignitors clean
and dry.
• Remove any lint that may remain
after cleaning.

Part Recommendations
Racks Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap filled
pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will lose their shiny fin-
ish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil,
then wipe off excess.
Fiberglass Gasket DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.
Glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease spatters
and stubborn stains.
Painted Surfaces Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and
wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
