• Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.

Provide adequate ventilation.

• DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other

part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will 

destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and

cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum 

foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused

to metal. Oven cleaners can be used on all interior oven 

surfaces.

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance

manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food

spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,

tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain

on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after 

cleaning.

1.  Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight 

or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean 

softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with

water and a clean cloth.

2.  If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a

nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner

following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix 

ammonia with other cleaners. 

3.  Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner

outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the 

front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy

water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

1.  DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches 

because it could cause a short circuit and result in 

sparking or fire.

2.  DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on

the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven

to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear 

of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each 

oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A

change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. 

Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.

3.  DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or 

gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range,

wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage 

these surfaces.

The oven bottom in non self-clean oven models can be 

removed for cleaning. See "To Remove and Replace Oven 

Bottom" under General Cleaning.

Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser,

a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following

manufacturer's instructions.
