Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs are in the
proper OFF position. When replacing the
knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the
stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do
not soak. Avoid getting water down in the
knob stem holes.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides and
kick panel. Clean these with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior
will retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be
used. Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup
ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave
in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
When necessary, you may use a
commercial oven cleaner. Follow the
package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven
cleaners:
■ Do not spray the oven cleaner on the
electrical controls and switches because
it could cause a short circuit and result
in sparking or fire.
■ Do not allow a film from the cleaner
to remain on the temperature sensor—
it could cause the oven to heat
improperly. (The sensor is located at
the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the
bulb clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor
as a change in its position could affect
how the oven bakes.
■ Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
outside oven door, handles or any
exterior surface of the oven, cabinet
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
