How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Do not scour or use all-purpose cleaners,
ammonia, powdered cleaners or commercial oven cleaner. They can scratch and discolor aluminum.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove,
pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze
excess watre from the cloth before wiping the panle; especially when wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after
cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF. Lightly spray the control panel with a
liquid cleaner. Wipe with a soft cloth or paper towel. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
These can permanently damage the control panel surface.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel
for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating.
Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Cover stubborn
spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Cleaners made especially
for stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during
heating and cannot be removed.
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. If removed,
clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water
and dry.
If the racks are cleaned by running them through the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly
blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub
the sides of the racks with wax paper or cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil.
This will make the racks glide easier.
The door may be removed to facilitate cleaning. To remove oven door, see instructions. To clean
oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water or
clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
