Cleaning the 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 or Self Clean modes
(on some models).
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.

Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive
cleaner or steel wool. Self-clean (black) oven racks may
remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Nickel-
plated (silver) racks should not remain in the oven during
the self clean cycle. Doing so will tarnish the racks. If

Do not open the door during the 30 minute Steam Clean
cycle as it will reduce the cleaning performance. At the
door, soak up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture-
softened soil from the oven walls and door. See instructions
in Manual Cleaning for any remaining soils.
Self Clean Mode (on some models)
Read the Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the
oven interior. For a moderately soiled oven, run a 3 hour
self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates
may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. All
other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks, should
be removed. If nickel plated racks are left in the oven
during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish. If either
type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean cycle,
the rack may become difficult to slide. See the Oven
Racks section for lubrication instructions.
