Cleaning Guidelines
Avoid these cleaners
Table 8: Oven Cleaning Chart
• Carefully wipe with a cotton swab
dampened with water, ammonia
or a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Formula 409 ¢ .
• Gently scrape soil off with a tooth-
pick.
Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper
performance. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or
when the burner does not light even
though the electronic ignitors click.
A damp igniter will prevent burner
from igniting. For proper burner per-
formance, keep ignitors clean and
dry.
Remove any lint that may remain after
cleaning.
Daily cleaning of the inside of the oven is not necessary. When soil builds up, use
the self-clean function as explained in "Self Cleaning the Oven" on page 24. See
"Oven Cleaning Chart" on page 24 for instructions for specific surfaces and items.
• Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40
Racks
Fiberglass Door Gasket

Self Cleaning the Oven
Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap filled
pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will lose their shiny fin-
ish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil,
then wipe off excess.
DO NOT HAND CLEAN GASKET.
Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease spatters
and stubborn stains.
Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and
wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a moistened
spongeltowel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy 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.
Always wipe or rub with grain. Clean with a soapy sponge then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or
Formula 409® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft
cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper's Friend® to
remove heat discoloration.
When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high
temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
