CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter
for more information about cleaning specific parts of
the oven.
Follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such
as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie fill-
ing) to remain on the surface as they may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and
heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning
will reduce the effort required for major cleaning
later.
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven,
be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is
cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven
before cleaning.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to
clean using oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven
overnight or for several hours with the oven
door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot,
soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean
cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad
or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an
oven cleaner following manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small
area at the front center of the oven bottom.
Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using
clean water and a cloth.
