Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle. If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move. Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not affect performance. A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance. Notes: damaged the surface burner will not light. Burner Grates • Wash grates with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad. For stubborn soils, clean with a soap-filled, nonabrasive pad or a sponge and Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part #20000001).** • For burned on soils, remove grates, place on newspapers and carefully spray with commercial oven cleaner.

Clock and Control Pad Area • To activate "Control Lock" for cleaning, see page 14. • Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they may scratch the finish. • Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a cloth first.

Control Knobs • Remove knobs in the OFF position by pulling forward. • Wash, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they may scratch the finish. • Turn on each burner to be sure the knobs have been correctly replaced. • The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is forced to open when "LOCK" is still displayed. Cleaning Procedures CAUTION • Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns. • To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use. • If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced. Broiler Pan and Insert Never cover insert with aluminum foil as this prevents the fat from draining to the pan below. • Place soapy cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil. • Wash in warm soapy water. Use scouring pad to remove stubborn soil. • Broiler pan and insert can be cleaned in dishwasher.

Important: Use a dry towel or cloth to wipe up spills, especially acidic or sugary spills. Surface may discolor or dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is especially important for white surfaces. Sealed Gas Burners • Clean frequently. Allow burner to cool. Clean with soap and plastic scouring pad. For stubborn soils, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a cloth. Try to prevent the cleaner from seeping into the gas ports as this will affect the flame. If the cleaner does enter the ports, clean with a soft bristle brush or a straight pin especially the port below the ignitor. Do not enlarge or distort holes.
