Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Oven Interior (on standard-clean models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish

looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled
scouring pads may also be used.
IMPORTANT: 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 a dull
spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The
ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Do not spray 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 build up

oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located
at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor
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 oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Do not allow excess water to run into any
holes or slots in the door.
■ Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-
filled scouring 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 a dull spot
even after cleaning.
To clean the outside of the door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.
Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When surface is
cool, clean and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the outside
of the door.
To clean the outside of the gasket
The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to
clean this by hand on self-clean models.
The area outside the gasket and the front
frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel-
wool pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
Do not rub or clan the door gasket - it has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed
or damaged in any way, or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it
replaced.

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed
and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range
is moved.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in
place and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children or adults.
