Surface type Cleaning recommendations
Aluminum & chrome surfaces
(rear backguard and handle
tips)
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Plastic & Zamak alloy (control
knobs)
For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult to
remove soil and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the
soil. Leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove the
control knobs, turn them 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.
Stainless steel (all external trim
pieces and control panel)
Clean stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.
Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning Stainless
Steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish stains
may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Porcelain enamel (oven cavity
inside walls)
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; then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse
and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners as the porcelain may
become damaged when heated. Do not use spray oven cleaners on the
cooktop.
Glass (door glasses and
display glass)
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven
door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the
oven door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or
the glass cleaner 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.
Oven racks & shelves Oven racks must be removed. Clean using a mild, abrasive cleaner following
the manufacturers instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
