Cleaning recommendation table

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 surface
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 back into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven lock (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 dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth
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 dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess
water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
If your range finish is Easy Care™ Stainless Steel (some models), clean the
stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought
cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing
any abrasive, chloride, chlorine or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild
dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning pad will remove most spots.
Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover
difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30-40 minutes. Rinse
with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled no-scratch
cleaning 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 surfaces; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
For additional details see "Cleaning tips for the Bake-n-Warm™ oven" provided
in the Care & Cleaning section.
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 very important preparation information be sure to read all the
instructions in the self-cleaning section
Oven racks must be removed from oven. Do not clean oven racks in
oven during the self-clean cycle. Remove and clean using a mild, abrasive
cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Thoroughly rinse and dry.
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 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. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models
the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
