detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area
with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on
a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not
use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control area may
cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.

Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a
