Self-Cleaning (cont'd) Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a Self-Cleaning cycle: 1. Press . 2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened. 3. Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected. To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution & avoid possible burns when opening the door after the SelfCleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT. General Care & Cleaning (Cleaning Table) Surfaces Glass, Painted Plastic Body Parts & Control Knobs How to Clean For general cleaning, use a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent & water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar & water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry & polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth 1st. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and display areas. DO NOT use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish. Painted Control Panels & Display areas Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF & remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Use the general cleaning instructions provided in the paragraph above. Porcelain Enamel Burner Grates, Cooktop Surface, Below Cooktop, Broiler Pan & Insert, Broiler Drawer, Door Liner & Oven Bottom Oven Racks Clean burner grates, broiler pan & insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below. Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water & 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 & wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top. Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner's recommendations. Rinse with clean water & let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions). Oven Door Stainless Steel Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & 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. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket. Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. DO NOT use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. DO NOT use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed. 12
