Cleaning the Range – Exterior
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed
and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range
is moved.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in
place and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children or adults.
Tip-Over Hazard
WARNING
WARNING
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the
anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to
take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death
or serious burns to children or adults.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Lockout
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before
cleaning.
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this
manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use
abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—theywilldamagethefinish,includingBlack
Stainless Steel.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the exterior of the oven. Clean with
a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When
cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room
temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Painted Surfaces and Black Stainless Steel
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the
door, top of control panel and the drawer front. Clean
these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted
surface, including Black Stainless Steel.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the
Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end
of this manual.
CARE AND CLEANING:CleaningtheRange–Exterior/Interior
Cleaning the Range – Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for self-
cleaning oven), strong liquid cleansers, steel wool,
or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils
on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces,
use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as
BarKeepersFriend®,withanon-scratchsponge.Take
care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to
the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating.
The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using
a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and
water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and
dry with a soft cloth.
