Cleaning the Range – Exterior
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

Control Lockout

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before
cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this
manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Range Exterior
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water
solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the
doors, and top of control panel. Clean these with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be
WARNING
sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is
replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of
the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or
adults. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on
the interior or exterior of the range.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use
abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders,
steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the
