MAINTENANCE
3. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft
cloth.
4. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance
cleaner has been used before to clean the appliance,
wash the surface with a mild soap and water prior to
using the Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Do not clean the broiler
pan or grid in a self-
cleaning mode.
After broiling, remove the
broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out the
grease from the pan into a
proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with cleaner
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth.
Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Oven Racks
Remove the oven racks
before operating the self-
clean cycle. Leaving the
racks in place could cause
discoloration.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color
will turn slightly blue and finish will be dull. After the
self-clean cycle is complete and the oven has cooled,
rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth
containing a small amount of oil. This will make the racks
glide more easily into the rack tracks.
Do not store a soiled
broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the oven.
Oven Cavity
DO NOT use oven cleaners.
NEVER wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a damp
sponge; it may cause chipping or crazing (tiny hairlike
cracks). Food spills should be cleaned when the oven
cools. At high temperature, foods react with porcelain and
a permanent dull spot can result. When cleaning a spot,
use only non-abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
Oven Door
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides,
and 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 which is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove
this gasket.
CAUTION
• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface.
− Doing so may result in the glass shattering.
