RANGE CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions 
on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside 
surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Soap, water 
and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise 
noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills 
may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing 
pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate 
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

COOKTOP CONTROLS

To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool, 
abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

To avoid damage, do not soak knobs. 

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

Cleaning Method:

Warm, soapy water:
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove. Gently 
clean cooktop controls because scrubbing may remove 
graphics or text.

CONTROL PANEL

To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive 
cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper 
towels.

Cleaning Method:

Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on 
panel. Gently clean control panel because scrubbing may 
remove graphics or text.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. 
These spills may affect the finish.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each 
other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.

Do not reassemble caps on burners while they are wet.

Cleaning Method:

Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive 
cleanser:
Clean as soon as cooktop, grates and caps are cool.

Dishwasher (grates only, not caps):
Use the most aggressive cycle. Cooked-on soils should be 
soaked or scrubbed before going into a dishwasher.
