panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control
knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight
off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water
and a dishcloth.
Rinse with a clean water
and a dishcloth.
Be sure to squeeze excess water
from the cloth
before wiping
the panel; especially
when wiping
around
the controls.
Excess water
in or
around the controls
may cause damage
to the appliance.
Be sure to rinse the cleaners
as
bluish stains may occur during
heating
and cannot
de removed.
To replace
knobs after
cleaning,
line up the fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft;
then push the knob into place.
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish 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
control pad 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. To remove
control knobs, turn to the OFF position;
grasp firmly
and pull straight
off: the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning,
line up the fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob
into place.
Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth.
Rinse with clean water
and cloth. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations
of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing
cleaners.
Only use kitchen cleaners
that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel.
Always
be sure to rinse the cleaners
off: from the surface as bluish stains may occur during
heating
that cannot
be removed.
Gentle
scouring with a soapy 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
scouring
pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners
or the
porcelain
may become
damaged
during
future heating.
DO NOT use spray oven cleaners
on
the cooktop.
Remove racks. See "Removing
and Replacing
Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven
Controls. Use a mild, abrasive
cleaner, following
manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean
water
and dry. After cleaning
the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth
containing
a small amount of baby oil or salad oil {this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).
Use soap & 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
wafer 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

DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material,
on
Self-Cleaning
models, which
is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage
or remove this gasket.
