How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
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 using hot, soapy water and a
dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. 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. Be sure to
rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot de removed. To
replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then
push the knob into place.
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft
cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray
liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water
on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the
appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some
paper towels - they will damage the finish. 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.
Clean with hot, soapy water and discloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do not use
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh
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.
Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Oven vent(s) and
racks. 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).
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier. The
surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element
will burn off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth
soil will burn off the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A SURFACE ELEMENT
IN WATER. To remove surface element and drip bowls, follow the instructions under General
Care & Cleaning.
To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still
warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about
20 minutes in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts ammonia and
water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleanser or steel
wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish, and dry with
a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the instructions under
General Cleaning.
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 cooktop.
