After self-cleaning, the entire oven can be safely cleaned with a soapy sponge,
rinsed and dried. If stubborn soil remains, follow the guidelines on this page.
• Always use the mildest cleaner that will remove the soil.
• Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.
• Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
• Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not drip into door slots.
• Dry to avoid water marks.
• Do not use caustic cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may etch the surface.
The cleaners listed below indicate types of products to use and are not being
endorsed. Use all products according to package directions.
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 finish 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. See "Cooktop Care Chart" on page 27 for cooktop cleaning
instructions.
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 sponge/towel 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 Fan-
tastik® 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.
