Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Oven Interior (on standard-clean models)
To clean the inside of the door:
• Do not allow excess water to run into
any holes or slots in the door.
• Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled, steel-wool pads
may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, to-
matoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie fill-
ing) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To clean the outside of the
door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven door. Rinse well. You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, to-
mato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause discol-
oration and should be wiped up im-
mediately. When surface is cool,
clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
To clean outside of the gasket:
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air circu-
lation.
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand
on self-clean models.
The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a
soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot water
and detergent. Rinse well with a vin-
egar and water solution.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket-it
has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any way,
or if it has become displaced on the
door, you should have it replaced.

WARNING
Tip-Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-
tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is
moved.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place
and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
burns to children or adults.
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven - top, bottom, sides,
back and inside of the door- will stay new-
looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We rec-
ommend that you wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-
filled scouring pads may also be used.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as milk, to-
matoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface. They may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the clean-
ing job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow
glass or pottery container in a cold oven
overnight. The ammonia fumes will help
loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or
fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor- it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is lo-
cated at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe
the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as a
change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
