CARE AND CLEANING
OVEN
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before
cleaning any part of the oven.
Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by
using the Steam Clean feature.
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, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool,
or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils on the
oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, use a gentle
abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend
with a non-scratch sponge. Take care not to apply any
abrasive cleaners or sponges to the door glass, as it will
scratch the reflective coating. The oven interior and door
glass may be cleaned using a soft cloth with a mild soap and
water, or vinegar and water solution. After cleaning, rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from your
oven.
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 1/2 cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4.
Close the door.
5.
Turn both your Oven Mode Knob and Oven Temperature
Knob to Steam Clean Setting.
Do not open the door during the Steam Cleaning cycle. At
the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining
water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven
walls and door.
Oven Exterior
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.
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.

Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive
cleaner or steel wool.
After cleaning the racks, use a soft cloth or paper towel
to rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the left and right
edges of the rack. This will ensure the racks are easy to slide
in and out of the oven.
COOKTOP
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.
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.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in
the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories
and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by
pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in the OFF
position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang objects on
them. This can damage the gas valve shaft. When removing
the tri-ring (on some models) and the dual-oval (on some
models) burner knobs, remember their location. While all
other knobs are interchangeable, these knobs must be placed
in the same location after cleaning. See the Surface Burner
section for a detailed view of these knobs. The knobs can be
washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher.
