Cleaning
Part Materials to Use General Directions
Bake and broil
element
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.
Broiler pan and
grid
Soap and a nonabrasive
plastic scouring pad
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.
Control knobs Mild soap and 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.
Smoothtop Soap and water or
smoothtop cleaner
conditioner
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. If
metal markings are allowed to remain on the top they will
become increasingly difficult to remove.
Inside oven door Soap and water 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.

polish with a dry cloth. If knobs are removed, do not allow
water to run down inside surface while cleaning.

water prolongs time between self-cleanings. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly.

the drawer and racks for ease in cleaning. Be sure drawer is
dry before replacing.
