CARE AND CLE

ANING:

 Cleaning the Range – Exterior

Cleaning the Range – Exterior

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 can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

WARNING

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

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.

Control Lockout

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before 
cleaning.
See How to Lock Out the Controls in the Using the clock, 
kitchen timer and control lockout section in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.

You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use 
abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. 
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, 
rinse with clean water and 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.

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 vinegar and water 
solution. 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.

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild 
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and 
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration 
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces 
cool, then clean and rinse.

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.

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.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including 
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the 
Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of 
this manual.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if 
misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic 
foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) 
should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper 

towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface 
has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap 
and water or cleansing powders after the surface has 
cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
