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 and a dishcloth.
Cover stubborn
spots with an
ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinse. 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.
Cleaners made
especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic
American Corp., or similar products
are recommended.
Always follow
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may
occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into
place.
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 may be removed
or left in the oven during
the self-clean
cycle for
cleaning.
If removed,
clean
by using
a mild,
abrasive
cleaner
following
manufacturer's
instructions.
Rinse with
clean water
and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue
and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven
has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing
a
small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into
the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT
immerse the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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
the gasket.
