General Directions
Do not clean bake element or broil element. Any soil will burn off
when element is heated. Bake element is hinged and can be lifted
to clean oven bottom.
Drain fat, cool pan and grid slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and
grid stand in oven to cool.) Sprinkle with soap. Fill the pan with
warm water. Let pan and grid stand for a few minutes. Wash or
scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and grid may
also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The burner bowls can be removed for ease in cleaning. For extra
dried on soil, soak the bowls in warm soapy water.
The coil elements do not need to be cleaned. Any food spilled on
the element during cooking will burn off. Never immerse coil
elements in water.
Pull off knobs. Wash gently but do not soak. Dry and return
controls to oven, making sure to match flat area on the knob to
the flat area on shaft.
Allow top to cool before cleaning. Wash surface with a dampened
cloth and soapy water. For extra dried on soil, scrub surface with
smoothtop cleaner conditioner available from an Amana Dealer.
A single edge razor blade can be used to scrape off dried on soil.
Do not use a harsh cleanser or steel wool pad. Metal markings
should be cleaned after each use. tf metal markings are allowed
to remain on the top they will become increasingly difficult to
remove.
Clean the outside of the door and the window area with warm
soapy water. Do not clean the oven door gasket. Gasket should
not be moved while cleaning. Avoid getting any cleaning materials
on gasket.
Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy water. Rinse and
polish with a dry cloth, tf knobs are removed, do not allow water to
run down inside surface while cleaning.
Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild soap and water
prolongs time between self-cleanings. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly.
For heavy soil, clean by hand and rinse thoroughly. Remove the
drawer and racks for ease in cleaning. Be sure drawer is dry
before replacing.
