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 clamp 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.
