and wipe.
Control panel
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area.
Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control
area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish.

vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use
cleaners containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia.

vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use
appliance cleaner, stainless steel cleaner, or cleaner containing abrasives, chlorides,
chlorine, or ammonia. These cleaners may damage the finish.
Porcelain-enameled broiler pan
and insert
Porcelain door liner
Porcelain body parts
Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth. Scrub gently with a soapy, non-abrasive
scouring pad to remove most spots. Rinse with a 50/50 solution of clean water and
ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for
30 to 40 minutes. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or
future heating could damage the porcelain. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
porcelain surfaces. These spills may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
