CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Recommendations 
Surface
Type Cleaning Recommendation
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trim
Aluminum, plastic or vinyl trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and 
built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto soil. Leave on soil for 30-60 
minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners these 
surfaces; they can scratch. 
Control panel
Control key pad membrane
Decorative trim (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate control lock (some 
models) and if needed remove knobs from panel (some models). Do not use 
abrasive cleaners on controls or trim; they can scratch. 
Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water 
from dishcloth before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the 
controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the 
appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze 
excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
Stainless Steel (some models)
Clean stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. 
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft clean cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing 
cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners especially made for cleaning stainless steel.
Always be sure to rinse cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur 
during heating that cannot be removed.
Porcelain enamel parts
Broiler pan and broiler pan insert
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive cleaning 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 mins. Rinse with clean 
water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive cleaning 
pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, 
fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on surfaces; they may cause a dull spot even 
after cleaning.
Porcelain coated oven racks
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the 
oven during the clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. 
It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of 
vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of 
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every clean cycle or when the rack 
becomes difficult to slide.
Porcelain Glide racks may be left in the oven during a clean cycle. Anytime the 
gliding is rough, the glide racks should be treated with graphite lubrication as 
shown in 
 on page 38.
Oven interior
Remove excessive spills from oven cavity bottom before starting clean. Clean any 
soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For important 
preparation information be sure to read all the instructions in the self cleaning 
section.
Oven racks
Do not clean oven racks in oven during the self clean cycle. Remove and 
clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Thor-
oughly rinse and dry.
Oven door
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. 
Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do 
not immerse the door in water. 
Do not spray or allow water or glass cleaner to enter the door vents. To avoid 
scratches, do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive 
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. 
Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self cleaning models the oven door gasket 
is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be 
taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
