Cleaning Guide
Part Recommendations
Broil Pan and Grid Wash with hot soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry, or
gently rub with cleansing
powder or soap-filled pads as
directed. DO NOT clean broil pan
and grid in the self-cleaning
oven.
Flat Rack Wash with hot soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry, or
gently rub with cleansing
powder or soap-filled pads as
directed. DO NOT clean the rack
in the self-cleaning oven.
If the flat racks are cleaned in the
oven during the self clean mode,
they will lose their shiny finish
and may not glide smoothly. If
this happens, wipe the rack
edges with a small amount of
vegetable oil. Then wipe off
excess.
Telescopic Rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or
soap-filled pads as directed.
Avoid getting cleansing powder
in the telescopic slides.
Re-lubrication may become
necessary. Use only
high-temperature food-grade
lubricants to re-lubricate slides.
DO NOT clean the rack in the
self-cleaning oven. If the
telescopic rack is cleaned in the
oven during the self clean mode
it will lose its shiny finish and will
not glide smoothly.
Fiberglass Gasket DO NOT CLEAN GASKET.
Glass Wash with soap and water or
glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or
Formula 409® to remove grease
spatters and stubborn stains.
Glass Control Panel Use warm soapy water on a dish
cloth or glass cleaner sprayed
directly on a paper towel.
Painted Surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or
apply Fantastik® or Formula
409® to a clean sponge or
paper towel and wipe clean.
Avoid using powder cleaning
agents, steel wool pads and
oven cleaners.
Part Recommendations
Porcelain Surfaces Immediately wipe up acid spills
like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes
with a dry cloth. Do not use a
moistened sponge/cloth on hot
porcelain. When cool, clean with
hot soapy 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.
Stainless Steel Sur- Always wipe or rub in the
faces direction of the grain. Clean with
a soapy sponge, then rinse and
dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or
Formula 409® sprayed on a
paper towel. Protect and polish
with Stainless Steel Magic® and
a soft cloth. Remove water spots
with a cloth dampened with white
vinegar.
Chlorine or chlorine compounds
in some cleaners are corrosive to
stainless steel. Check ingredients
on label before using.
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy
water, rinse and dry.
Probe Wipe with soapy water. Do not
submerge. Do not wash in the
dishwasher.
Printed areas Do not use abrasive cleaners or
(words & numbers) petroleum based solvents.
Notes
Slight differences in color on the front of the appliance
▯
are caused by the use of different materials, such as
glass, plastic and metal.
Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks,
▯
are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This
▯
can cause some slight color variation. This is normal
and does not affect operation.
Surfaces in the Oven Cavity
The oven cavity bottom is enameled and has a smooth
surface.
Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning
around a coil element showing on the bottom of the
oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food
soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.
