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 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 into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven
lockout (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 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 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 on the surface; they may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
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.
Refer to "Cooktop cleaning" and "Cooktop maintenance" in the Care
& Cleaning section.
