Cleaning
Interior
Do not use oven cleaners to clean the oven cavity.
Use the product's EasyClean function regularly to
clean light soil. For stubborn soil, clean manually
using the following tips.
• A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to
scrape off any chunks or debris before and
during oven cleaning.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring
pad may help to take off burnt-on stains better
than a soft sponge or towel.
• Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as
those made of melamine foam, available at local
stores, can also help improve cleaning.
CAUTION
• Do not use oven cleaners, harsh chemical
cleaners, bleach, vinegar, steel scouring pads, or
abrasive pads or cleansers to clean the oven, as
they can permanently damage the oven surface.
• Do not clean the gasket.
• Do not clean the interior with the oven light on.
• To prevent burns, wait until the oven has cooled
down before touching any of its parts.
Exterior
Painted and Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy
water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil.
Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
WARNING
• To avoid scratches, do not use steel wool pads.
1
Place a small amount of stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or
paper towel.
2
Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of
the stainless steel if applicable.
3
Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or
soft cloth.
4
Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
• To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
• Always wipe in the direction of the metal surface
finish.
• Stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish can be
purchased online or from most retailers of
appliances or home goods.
Oven Cavity
DO NOT use oven cleaners.
NEVER wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a
damp sponge; it may cause chipping or crazing
(tiny hairlike cracks). Food spills should be cleaned
when the oven cools. At high temperature, foods
react with porcelain and a permanent dull spot can
result. When cleaning a spot, use only non-
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
Oven Door
CAUTION
• Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door. Doing so can cause damage.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass,
since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or
harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside
of the oven door.
• Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the oven
door. Rinse well. Do not immerse the door in
water.
• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass
of the oven door. Do not spray water or glass
cleaner on the door vents.
