Oven Interior Manual Clean (lower oven only, select models)
• Clean frequently using mild abrasive cleaners and a plastic pad. Do not use metallic scouring
pads because they will scratch the surface.
• When using commercial oven cleaners, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Self-Clean
• Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces.
Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid
spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.
• See pages 12 and 13 for information on the self-clean oven.
• To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a plastic, soap-filled scouring pad;
rinse well.
Oven Racks
• Rub with a sponge or cloth using one of the following cleaners; Bon Ami, Soft Scrub or
Comet*. Rinse and dry.
• For hard to remove soils, use a dampened soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and dry.
• Racks will permanently discolor and may not slide smoothly if left in the oven during a self­
clean operation. If this occurs, wipe the rack and embossed rack supports with a small amount
of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement, then wipe off excess oil.
