To Clean the Ceramic Glass Cooktop:
1. Remove food/residue with a cooktop scraper.
•
For best results, use the cooktop scraper while the cooktop is still
warm, but not hot to the touch.
•
It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.
•
Hold the cooktop scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass
surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in
order to remove the residue.
•
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of cooktop cleaner to the affected areas.
•
Rub cooktop cleaner onto the cooktop surface with a nylon or similar
cooktop cleaning pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.
•
Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

COOKTOP CONTROL KNOBS
•
Pull knobs straight out from the control panel to remove.
•
When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are turned to the Off position.
Cleaning Method:
Soap and water or dishwasher:
NOTE: Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner. Do not soak knobs.
CONTROL PANEL
Cleaning Method:
Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge: Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or
sponge, not directly on panel.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or
some paper towels. Damage may occur.
OVEN CAVITY
Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react
with porcelain, so staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result.
Cleaning Method:
Mild detergent and warm water.
NOTE: Do not use oven cleaners.

OVEN SELF-CLEANING
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
NOTES:
•
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer
cleaning and more smoke.
•
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get
rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
•
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal.
•
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Self- Clean
feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear
in the display and the Self-Clean cycle will not activate until it cools down.
•
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. On some
models, the surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
•
When “LOCK” shows in the display, the oven door cannot be opened. To avoid
damage to the door, do not force the door open when “LOCK” is displayed.
Prepare Oven:
•
Remove the broiler pan, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the
temperature probe from the oven.
•
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General
Cleaning” section for more information.
•
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
