Surface type Recommendation
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30-
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 OFF position;
grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up
the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls OFF, activate oven lockout (on
some models) and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water
and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping
control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean
water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before
wiping the control panel.

liner
Gentle scubbing with a soapy no-scratch cleaning 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 no-scratch cleaning pad. Rinse
and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid
content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface; they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
For oven interior remove excessive spillovers from oven cavity bottom before
starting Select Clean. Clean any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the
oven door gasket. For very important cleaning precautions be sure to read all the
instructions in the Select Clean section.
Oven racks
Oven door
Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting Select Clean. Clean by using a
mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water,
dry and then replace in oven.
Use soap & 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 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.
Oven interior
Stainless Steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes that are specifically manufactured for cleaning
stainless steel. Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess
cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future
oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and
a dishcloth. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
Ceramic cooktop
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Cooktop cleaning” and
“Cooktop maintenance” later in the Care & Cleaning section.
