CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning The Oven Cleaning The Oven Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven. Control Panel and Knobs Wipe the control panel after each use of the oven with a damp cloth. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water. 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. Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft. The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. With knobs in the OFF position pull them straight off the stems. The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher. Not all knobs are interchangeable. To determine the correct location of a particular knob, examine the back of the knob. A knob with a label or two stem holes should be replaced on the front panel first by matching the shape of the knob holes to the shape of the control panel stems. The remainder of the knobs having no labels and only one stem hole can then be replaced on the front panel anywhere there is a single stem. Label Stem Surface burner knob Stem holes Knobs with two stem holes have special locations Oven Exterior and Cooktop Surface Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. 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 a 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. Stainless Steel Surfaces (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 read the Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of this manual. Oven Interior The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the 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 as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse. Manual Cleaning Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. 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. 22 Steam Clean Mode (on some models) The Steam Clean feature is intended to use water to clean light soil from your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean. To use the Steam Clean feature: 1. Start with the oven at room temperature 2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven 3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven 4. Close the door 5. Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start. The oven door will lock. You cannot open the door during the 12 minute Steam Clean cycle as this will decrease the cleaning performance. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle the door will unlock. With a sponge, soak up remaining water and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven walls and door. 49-85211-1
