Daily Cleaning
Daily cleaning of the inside of the oven is not necessary. When soil builds up, use
the self-clean function as explain in “Self Cleaning the Oven” on page 35. See
“Oven Cleaning Chart” on page 35 for instructions for specific surfaces and items.
Exterior Finish / Stainless Steel • Hot water and detergent
• Non-abrasive cleaners such as
Fantastic
®
or Formula 409
®
.
Rinse and dry immediately.
• Cleaner polish such as Stainless
Steel Magic
®
to protect the finish
from staining and pitting;
enhances appearance.
• Hard water spots: Household
white vinegar.
• Mild Abrasive Cleaners: Kleen
King
®
stainless steel liquid
cleaner, Cameo
®
aluminum &
stainless steel cleaner, Bon Ami
®
.
• Heat discoloration: Bar Keepers
Friend

.
• Stainless steel resists most food
stains and pit marks providing the
surface is kept clean and pro-
tected.
• Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or
paper towels.
• Wipe area dry to avoid water
marks.
• Never allow food stains or salt to
remain on stainless steel for any
length of time.
• Rub lightly in the direction of pol-
ish lines.
• Chlorine or chlorine compounds
in some cleaners are corrosive to
stainless steel. Check ingredients
on label before using.
Grates / Porcelain Enamel on Cast
Iron • Hot water and detergent. Rinse
and dry immediately
• Nonabrasive cleaners such as
Fantastic
®
or Formula 409
®
.
Rinse and dry immediately.
• Mild abrasive cleaners such as
Bon Ami
®
or Soft Scrub
®
.
• The grates are heavy; use care
when lifting. Place on a protected
surface.
• Blisters / crazing / chips are com-
mon due to the extreme tempera-
tures on grate fingers and rapid
temperatures changes.
• Acidic and sugar-laden spills
deteriorate the enamel. Remove
soil immediately
• Abrasive cleaners, used too vigor-
ously or too often, can eventually
mar the enamel.
Igniters / Ceramics • Carefully wipe with a cotton swab
dampened with water, ammonia
or a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Formula 409
®
.
• Gently scrape soil off with a tooth-
pick.
• Keep the ignitor ports clean for
proper performance. It is neces-
sary to clean these when there is
a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the
electronic ignitors click.
• A damp igniter will prevent burner
from igniting. For proper burner
performance, keep ignitors clean
and dry.
• Remove any lint that may remain
after cleaning.
