Recommendations
Flat Rack
Wash with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and 
dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. DO NOT clean the rack in 
the self-cleaning oven.
If flat racks are cleaned in the oven during the self 
clean mode, they will loose their shiny finish and 
may not glide smoothly. If this happens wipe the 
rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil. 
Then wipe off excess.
Broil Pan and Grid
Wash with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and 
dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. DO NOT clean broil pan 
and grid in the self-cleaning oven.
Fiberglass Gasket
DO NOT CLEAN GASKET.
Glass
Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use 
Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease 
spatters and stubborn stains.
Painted Surfaces
Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® 
or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper 
towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder 
cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven 
cleaners.
Porcelain Surfaces
Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, 
milk and tomatoes with a dry cloth. Do not use a 
moistened sponge/cloth on hot porcelain. When 
cool, clean with hot soapy 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 Steel Surfaces
Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. 
Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or 
wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® sprayed 
on 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.
