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.

Care and cleaning of the range.
ge.com
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to
clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap
and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the
range and the door, top of control panel and
the drawer front. Clean these with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of
the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE:
The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the
OFF
positions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or
they may also be washed with soap and water.
Make sure the inside of the knobs are dry
before replacing.
Replace the knobs, in the
OFF
position to
ensure proper placement.
