Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling
as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.

Recommendation
•
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 30-60
minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these
materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position. Grasp firmly
and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of
both knob and shaft, then push knob into place.
•
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate oven lockout (on some
models), and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on
any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or
sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge 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 cloth
or sponge and be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or sponge before wiping the
control panel.
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive 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 non-abrasive scouring 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 the surface; they may cause
a dull spot even after cleaning.
•
For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before starting Self
Clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For
important cleaning precautions, read all the instructions
•
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean cycle. So 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 self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
•
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 the glass cleaner to enter the door
vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning
materials on the outside of the oven door.
