Cleaning The Oven
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of
baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Also
we recommend against using cleaners with ammonia
or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of
the oven. If you choose to use a common household
cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth,
then wipe the soiled area.
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.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel--they will damage the finish.
Oven Exterior
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 oven.
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.
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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
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.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, read the
Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of
this manual.
How To Clean The Upper Oven interior
[::::::3 EZZ::3 E::::23 EZ:::Z3E::::::3 r-7
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and
Plastic Parts on the Door
Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating
performance.
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel,
others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy
spatters with a sudsy cloth; then rinse with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven
walls.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of
your oven.
Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring
pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing electrical
shock.
Door Seal
It's important to keep the area clean where the door
seals against the oven. Use only mild, nonabrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth.
Rinse well.
Removable Turntable
Turntable
Do not use the oven without the
turntable in place.
The area underneath the turntable should be cleaned
frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking
cycle.
The turntable can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully
in warm, sudsy water. Dry completely and replace.
To replace the turntable, place its center over the spindle
in the center of the oven and turn it until it seats into place.
(Make sure the smooth side of the turntable is facing up
and that its center seats securely on the spindle.)
