Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or scouring pad. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides, top
of backguard and the drawer front.
Clean these with soap and water or
a vinegar and water solution.
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening
under the right rear surface unit.
This area could become hot during oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of the
vent and moisture may collect underneath
when the oven is in use.
To make the shelves slide more easily,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
to a paper towel and wipe the edges of
the oven shelves with the paper towel.
Do not spray with Pam ® or other
lubricant sprays.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
The vent is important for proper air
circulation.
Never block this vent.
