Cleaning Recommendation
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft
clean cloth. Do not use appliance cleaner, stainless steel cleaner, or
cleaner containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. These
cleaners may damage the finish.
Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth. Scrub gently with a soapy,
non-abrasive scouring pad to remove most spots. Rinse with a 50/50
solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots
with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or future heating
could damage the porcelain. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on porcelain surfaces. These spills may cause a dull spot
even after cleaning.
Before setting a self-clean cycle, clean soils from the oven frame,
areas outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom. See "Self Clean" on page 24.
Use mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water to clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
Glass cleaner may be used on the outside glass of the door. Ceramic
smoothtop cleaner or polish may be used on the interior door glass.
Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or
cleaners 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.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a
woven material which is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage,
or remove this gasket.
