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.
To replace knobs after 
cleaning, align the hole 
on the knob backside 
with the gas valve shaft 
and push inward until 
the knob is securely 
fastened. All knobs are 
interchangeable.

Cooktop Surface

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid 
cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders 
on the cooktop surface. 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.
If your model has a stainless steel cooktop surface, refer to the 
Stainless Steel Surface cleaning instructions featured in the 
Control Panel and Knobs section.
