Before cleaning the controlpanel, turn all controls to OFFand remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when
wiping around the controls. Excesswater in or around the controls may cause damage to
the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and
the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Cleaners made especially for stainless steel as Stainless Steel Magic, or other similar cleaners
are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the clean-
ers as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "To remove and to replace an Oven Rack" under Setting Oven Controls.
Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water
and dry. After cleaning the racks, 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).
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.
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.
Forgeneral cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Formore difficult soils and built-up
grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leaveon 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 OFFposition; 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.
