Note:
•

The oven light cannot be turned on during self-
cleaning.

•

The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished 
components in the oven can become discolored over 
time. This is normal and does not affect operation. Do 
not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners to treat 
discolorations.

•

In double oven models, Self Clean is only available for 
one oven at a time, and the other oven must be turned 
off.

Avoid These Cleaners

Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®. 
They may damage the oven finish or parts.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning Guide

Replacing an Oven Light

Use only 40 Watt light bulbs for 30“ ovens and 25 Watt light 
bulbs for 27“ ovens.

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.

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. Heat 

Discoloration/Corrosion: Clean with 

Bar Keeper‘s Friend® sprinkled on a 

wet sponge or wet cloth and applied 

to the wet stainless steel surface. 

Rub gently and evenly in the 

direction of the grain. Rinse and dry.

Plastic & 
Controls

When cool, clean with soapy water, 
rinse and dry.

Printed Areas 
(Words and 
Numbers)

Do not use abrasive cleansers.

•

Make sure the appliance and lights are 
cool and power to the appliance has been 
turned off before replacing the light 
bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in 
electrical shock or burns.

•

The lenses must be in place when using 
the appliance.

•

The lenses serve to protect the light bulb 
from breaking.

•

The lenses are made of glass. Handle 
carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass 
could cause an injury.

•

Light socket is live when door is open.
