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.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. This type of cleaner will permanently scratch the glass
control panel. DO NOT place or leave cleaning supplies on the ceramic cooktop while
cleaning the glass control panel. Move these items to a kitchen counter-top. To finish

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 damp cloth, and
then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove

Racks
Oven Door
Porcelain coated Oven Racks may be left in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle. If further
cleaning is required, remove the racks after the oven has cooled & clean using a mild non-
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. Rinse with clean water and let dry.
After the Self-Clean cycle is done and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks
with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of vegetable oil. This will make the
racks glide easier into the oven rack positions.
To clean Oven Door follow the instructions in Removing & Replacing Lift-Off Oven and the
Door Care Instructions in the General Care & Cleaning
section. Wash soiled areas with
hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.
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.
