Care and cleaning of the oven.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth. NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard
to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more
easily.
Oven shelf
Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned
with soap and water or a soap-filled
scouring pad. Cool the temperature
probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn
spots with a soap-filled scouring pad,
rinse and dry.
■
Do not immerse the temperature probe
in water.
■ Do not store the temperature probe in
the oven.
Broiler Pan & Grid
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a
self-cleaning oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out the grease from
the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid
in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking
the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the broil element. Any soil
will burn off when the element is heated.
The bake element is not exposed and
is under the removable oven floor. If
spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
on the removable oven floor, wipe up
before self-cleaning.
To clean the bake element area, take out
the removable floor (see the Removable
Oven Floor section) and gently lift the
bake element. Clean with warm soapy
water. Always replace the removable floor
before next use.
NOTE: Failure to replace the removable floor will
adversely affect the cooking performance.
