up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60
minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of
these materials; they can scratch.

Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth then rinse with clean water. Be sure to
squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panei; especially when wiping
around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. This type of cleaner will permanently scratch the glass
control pane!. DO NOT place or leave cleaning supplies on the ceramic cooktop while
cleaning the giass control panel. Move these items to a kitchen counter-top. To finish
cleaning or for lighter soil use a typical household glass cleaner and paper towels.
Clean Stainless Steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and
a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do
not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made
for cleaning Stainless Steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as
bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1
solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp
cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth. Remove ail cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Porcelain oven racks may be left in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle. If further
cleaning is required, remove the racks after the oven has cooled & clean using a mild
non-abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and
let dry. After the Self-Clean cycle is done and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of vegetable oil. This
will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions.
