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 30-60 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 OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push
knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven lockout (on
some models) and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy
water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before
wiping 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.
• Control knobs (some models)
• Painted body parts
• Painted decorative trim
• Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim
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, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish
soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
• Porcelain enamel parts
Remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting self-
clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door
gasket. For very important prepartion information be sure to read all the
instructions in the self-clean section
.
• Oven interior
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning 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 no-scratch
cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with
high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Oven racks
• Oven door
Oven racks must be removed from oven. Do not clean oven racks in
oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove and clean using a mild, abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Thoroughly rinse 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.
