Recommendation
Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass
cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven
control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess
water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.

Only use cleaners and polishes specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel.
Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a
lint-free cloth. Be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish
stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils
with hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Use clean water to rinse; use a cloth to dry.
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.
Remove oven racks from the oven cavity before cleaning the oven interior. Use a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. For
very important cleaning precautions, read
Remove from oven before starting self clean cycle. If racks become hard to slide refer to
"Caring for your glide racks"
Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed from oven cavity during the self
clean cycle for cleaning. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside door glass. 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. NOTE: The oven gasket is essential for a good seal. It is located on the inner
frame of the door and visible when the door is opened. Do not clean the oven door gasket.
On self clean models, the oven door gasket is made of a woven material. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.
Use a small amount of ceramic glass cleaner to remove residue on oven glass. Wipe off with
paper towel after cleaning.
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See
