scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning
stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish
stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Oven Racks
Remove the oven racks before starting a Self-Clean cycle for cleaning. After removal,
clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with
clean water and dry. If the racks are cleaned in the Self-Clean cycle, their color will turn
slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the Self-Clean cycle is complete, and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

Oven Door
See special Oven Door cleaning instructions under "Removing and Replacing 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 the gasket.
Cleaning the Cooktop
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are
cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed
ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
