Cleaning recommendation table

Recommendation
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
(some models), turn to OFF position; grasp firmly and pull knob straight off the
shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and
shaft; then push knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate controls lock
(some models) and remove any knobs from panel (some models). Do not use
abrasive 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.
Gentle scrubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning 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 damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled no-
scratch cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food
spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
Remove excessive spillovers from oven bottom before starting self-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 clean section.
Do not clean oven racks inside oven using the clean cycle. Remove
oven racks and clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Thoroughly rinse 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 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 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 this gasket.
Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically made for cleaning stainless
steel. Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use
harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Always be sure to wipe
excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur
during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with
hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
