Oven Racks
Clean the oven racks with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the racks with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) may be cleaned in the self-
cleaning oven. However, the racks will darken in
color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
To make the racks slide more easily, apply
a small amount of vegetable oil
or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven racks with the
paper towel.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated. To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Control Knob (on some models)
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the inside
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to
ensure proper placement.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control
panel after each use. Clean with mild
soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleansers on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of
vinegar and hot water works well.

Glass Surfaces
To clean the outside glass finish,
use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish
with a dry cloth. Do not allow the water or cleaner
to run down inside the oven door
while cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
Clean 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.
