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.
Manual clean oven interior The oven interior is porcelain coated and safe to clean using oven cleaners. Always
follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaners. After cleaning, remove any oven
cleaner or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Do not spray
oven cleaner on any electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven
cleaner to build up on the oven temperature sensing probe. Do not spray cleaner on
oven door trim, door gasket, plastic drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of
the appliance.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Oven door 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.

pie filling) to remain on the burner grates or burner caps. These spills may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning. Clean these spills as soon as surfaces are cool. Thor
