Care and cleaning of the cooking center.

Oven Shelves
(lower oven)
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves
(on some models) may be cleaned in the self-
cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken
in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide
if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
Lower Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
Control Panel
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use. Clean with mild soap and
water or vinegar and water, rinse with
clean water and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
To make the shelves slide more easily,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven shelves with the
paper towel.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake
element. Clean with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
