To restore luster and remove streaks, follow with Stainless Steel Magic Spray. • Avoid using excessive amounts of water which may seep under or behind glass causing staining. • Wash with soap and water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Glass cleaner can be used if sprayed on a cloth first. • Do not use abrasive materials such as scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass. • Wash with soap and water, glass cleaners or mild liquid sprays. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. • Remove stubborn soils with nonabrasive cleaners such as Bon Ami* or a baking soda and water paste; rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners. • See page 15 for information on the self-clean oven. • To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a plastic soap-filled scouring pad; rinse well. • Wipe up sugary spillovers and acidic spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle. • Rub with a sponge or cloth using one of the following cleaners: Bon-Ami*, Soft Scrub* or Comet*. Rinse and dry. • For hard to remove soils, use a dampened soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and dry. • Racks will permanently discolor and may not slide smoothly if left in the oven during a self-clean operation. If this occurs, wipe the rack and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement, then wipe off excess oil.
