How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. DO NOT scour or use all-purpose
cleaners, ammonia, powdered cleansers or commercial oven cleaner. They can scratch
and discolor aluminum.
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 to 60 minutes.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, spray cleaners or scouring
pads on any of these materials. These cleaners can permanently damage the control pad
surface.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn control to OFF and remove the control knob. To
remove, pull knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. Squeeze excess water
from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the control. Excess
water in or around the control may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knob after
cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob into place.
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.
For Non Self-Clean Models: Clean by using 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 position).
For Self-Clean Models: Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle for cleaning. If removed, follow instructions above.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the
finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, 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).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the
door in water. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a
material which is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to damage or remove the oven door gasket.
