cloth. Do not use cleaners
wlth
high concentrations
of chlorides
or chlorines.
Do not use
harsh scrubbing
cleaners.
Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially

as bluish stains may
occur during
heating
that cannot be removed.
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

Porcelain
Coated Racks:
Some ovens come with lubricated
porcelain
oven racks, which can remain in the oven
during the self-clean
cycle. Do not clean this
vegetable
oil lubrication
off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always
have a light coating
of vegetable
oil. To
maintain
optimal
rack performance,
re-apply
a thin layer of vegetable
oil to the sides of
the rack after every self-clean
cycle or when the rack becomes
difficult
to slide.

Chrome Oven
Racks:
Some models come with chrome oven racks, which
have to be removed
from the oven
during the self-clean
cycle or else their finish will turn dull and their color slightly
blue.
If left in, after the cycle is complete
and the oven has cooled,
rub the sides of the oven
racks with wax paper
or a cloth containing
a small amount
of salad oil (this will make the
racks glide easier into the rack position).
Clean chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner
following
manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean water
and dry.
Use soap & water
to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner
on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the
door in water. DO NOT spray
or allow
water
or the glass cleaner
to enter the door vents.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material,
on Self-Cleaning
models, which
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage
or remove this gasket.
