Cleaning
General Cleaning Tips
• A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to
scrape off any chunks or debris before and
during oven cleaning.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring
pad may help to take off burnt-on stains better
than a soft sponge or towel.
• Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as
those made of melamine foam, available at your
local stores, can also help improve cleaning.
Exterior
Painted and Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy
water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil.
Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
To avoid scratches, do not use steel wool pads.
1 Place a small amount of stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or
paper towel.
2 Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of
the stainless steel if applicable.
3 Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or
soft cloth.
4 Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
• To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
• Always wipe in the direction of the metal surface
finish.
• Stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish can be
purchased online or from most retailers of
appliances or home goods.
Oven Cavity
DO NOT use oven cleaners.
NEVER wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a
damp sponge; it may cause chipping or crazing
(tiny hairlike cracks). Food spills should be cleaned
when the oven cools. At high temperature, foods
react with porcelain and a permanent dull spot can
result. When cleaning a spot, use only non-
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
Oven Door
CAUTION
• Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door. Doing so can cause damage.
• Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the oven
door. Rinse well. Do not immerse the door in
water.
• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass
of the oven door. Do not spray water or glass
cleaner on the door vents.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or
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 that is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Broiler Pan and Grid
• Do not store a soiled broiler pan or grid
anywhere in the appliance.
