Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
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 CLEANING NOW WILL REDUCE THE
EXTENT OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

Before cleaning the controlpanet, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs.
To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a
dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; espe-
cially 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 into place.
Cleaners made especially for stainless steel as Stainless Steel Magic, or other similar
cleaners are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to
rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "To remove and to replace an Oven Rack" under Setting Oven
Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with
clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or
a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack positions).
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. Re-
move all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT
use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the
door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket.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 the
gasket.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-
up grease, apply aliquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these
materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp
firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides
of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
