Cleaning Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the
effort required for major cleaning later.

Control Panel
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs.
To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a
dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the doth before wiping the panel;
especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may
cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of
both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Oven Racks
Cleaners made especially for stainless steel as Stainless Steel Magic, or other similar
cleaners are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to
rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "To remove and to replace an Oven Rack" under Setting Oven
Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with
clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper
or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack positions).
Searing Grill (If equipped) For general cleaning, put in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes. Use a soft
cloth to remove difficult soils. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners or pads; they can scratch.

soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth and
then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove
all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
