How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
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 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove,
pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. Be sure to squeeze excess water from
the cloth before wiping the panel; especially 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.
Clean in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow these cooktop cleaning
instructions: 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. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the rangetop.
Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Cover stubborn spots
with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Cleaners made especially for
stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during
heating and cannot be removed.
Oven racks can be removed or left in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle for cleaning. If removed,
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 completed, and the oven has cooled, 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).
The holes in the burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and a
complete, even flame. Clean burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially
after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.
To remove and replace burner units per your model, see "To Remove and Replace Burners" under
General Cleaning. To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 clean water and ammonia solution for 30 to
40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and a damp
cloth. Before putting the burner back, dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Then replace it, making sure it is properly seated and level. DO NOT put burner units in the dishwasher.
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. (Self-cleaning oven only: 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.

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
CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.

Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom is not a continuous cleaning finish. Oven cleaners can be used on the
oven bottom only. Remove the oven bottom before using oven cleaners. DO NOT get oven
cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.
Note: To remove or replace oven bottom, see "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under
General Cleaning.
To clean, use hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven
cleaner (on the oven bottom only) following manufacturer's instructions.
DO NOT line the oven walls,
bottom, racks or any other part of the range
with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the
oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
