CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Oven Shelves
Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or with an abrasive cleanser.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry. To remove heavy,
burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After scrubbing, wash with soapy
water, rinse and dry. Shelves may also be cleaned in self-cleaning oven, but
will discolor and lose some luster. See the Self-Cleaning section.

a scouring pad.
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides
and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside

basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
