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 30-60 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 OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push
knob into place.

cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy
water and a dishcloth.
Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before
wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When
rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water
from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
• Stainless steel (some models)
Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water
and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations
of chlorides or

are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the
cleaners off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that
cannot be removed.

to remain on surface; they may leave a dull spot after cleaning.
• Oven interior

clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door
gasket. For very important preparation information be sure to read all the
instructions in the self-cleaning section.

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. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-cleaning models the oven
