CARE AND CLEANING
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possi-
ble. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major
cleaning later.
CAUTION
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure
all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they
must be removed and the appliance must be thor-
oughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufactur-
er’s instructions and provide adequate ventilation.
Surface or Area Cleaning Recommendation
Aluminum and vinyl Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water. Rinse with clean
water, dry and polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Painted and plastic control
knobs
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50
solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry and polish with a
soft, clean cloth. Glass cleaners may be used, but do not apply directly to
surface; spray onto cloth and wipe.
Control panel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solu-
tion of vinegar and water. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control
and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel
- excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance.
Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper
towels - they will damage the finish.
Control knobs Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solu-
tion of vinegar and water. To remove control knobs: turn to the OFF position,
grasp firmly, and pull off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up
