Cleaning and Maintenance
English 35
After self-cleaning, the entire oven can be safely cleaned with a soapy sponge,
rinsed and dried. If stubborn soil remains, follow the guidelines on this page.
• Always use the mildest cleaner that will remove the soil.
• Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.
• Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
• Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not drip into door slots.
• Dry to avoid water marks.
• Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
The cleaners listed below indicate types of products to use and are not being
endorsed. Use all products according to package directions.

Part Recommendations
Racks Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap filled
pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will lose their shiny fin-
ish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil,
then wipe off excess.
Fiberglass Gasket DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.
Glass (other than cook-
top) Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease spatters
and stubborn stains. See “Cooktop Care Chart” on page 32 for cooktop cleaning instructions.
Painted Surfaces Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and
wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Porcelain Surfaces Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a moistened
sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub®
to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap filled pads. It is normal for porcelain to
show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.
Stainless Surfaces Always wipe or rub with grain. Clean with a soapy sponge then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or
Formula 409® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft
cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend® to
remove heat discoloration.
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
