Recommendation
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
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 on any of these
materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the
OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the
shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and
remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off
the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a
clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from
the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around
the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the appliance.To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the
flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into
place.
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, chlorides,
chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and
water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
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. Do not use spray
oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using
a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse
with clean water 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.
