Forgeneral
cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Formore 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 controlpanel, 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. Ifnecassary, 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 slightlyblue
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.
