Care and Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as
soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation
Aluminum and Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass
cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven
control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess
water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.
Stainless Steel Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel
cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine, or
ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water
and vinegar.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear 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, and 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.
Oven racks Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the 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. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket is made of a
woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or remove this gasket.
