Cleaning recommendation table

Surface type Recommendation

• Easy Care™ Stainless

Steel (some models)

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.

• Porcelain enamel parts

• Control panel

• Control key pad membrane

• Decorative trim (some models)

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, chloride, chlorine or ammonia. It is recommended to

use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

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 preparation information be sure to read all the
instructions in the self-cleaning section

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-
