scratch.
Painted Control
Panels
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. 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. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob(s) into place.

Clean burner grates, broiler pan & insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not
removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clean 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, then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.
Oven Racks
Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls.
Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner's recommendations. Rinse with clean water &
let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
Oven Door
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You
may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in
water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT
use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
Stainless Steel
(some models)
Clean stainless steel with a dishcloth using hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water & a cloth.
Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless
steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during
heating that cannot be removed.
Before cleaning any part of the range, be
sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL
REDUCE THE EFFORT REQUIRED FOR MAJOR
CLEANINGS LATER (See Cleaning Chart above).
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom,
racks or any other part of the appliance with
aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt
to the interior surface of the oven).

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating
the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Remember to follow these cleaning precautions:
o Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
