Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could
remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft
clean cloth.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. The oven features a self-clean
cycle for the oven interior. See the “Self-Clean Cycle” section for complete
instructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE
CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY
CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for
that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to
remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the
material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a
metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.
DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as
citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
