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 scrap 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 module 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.
Outside Finish and

Soap and Water Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy
water. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. If knobs
are removed, do not allow water to run down inside
surface while cleaning.
Oven Interior
Surfaces
Soap and Water Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild
soap and water prolongs time between
self-cleanings. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.

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