7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Self-Cleaning cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils. IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior. NOTES: ■■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Self-Cleaning cycle. ■■ For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. ■■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the end of the Self-Cleaning cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor. ■■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the Self-Cleaning cycle. ■■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads (without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use. ■■ Run an additional Self-Cleaning cycle for stubborn soils. ■■ Affresh® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh® Cooktop Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the "Accessories" section for information on ordering. ■■ Additional AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the "Accessories" section for more information. ■■ For assistance with AquaLift® Technology, call 1-877-258-0808 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada, or visit our website at http://whirlpoolcorp.com/aqualift. General Cleaning IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. For additional information, you can visit our website at www.kitchenaid.com. In Canada, visit our website at www.kitchenaid.ca. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted. EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models) Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish. Cleaning Method: ■■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers. ■■ Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the "Accessories" section for more information. STAINLESS STEEL (on some models) NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use. Cleaning Method: Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging. ■■ Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016: See the "Accessories" section for more information. METALLIC PAINT (on some models) Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain. CERAMIC GLASS To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia. 1. Remove food/residue with the 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 affresh® Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas. ■■ Rub affresh® Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue 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. ■■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains. 20
