3. Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame,
and
the oven door outside the gasket with
a
dampened
cloth. The oven front frame
and
the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the
self-
clean cycle. On these areas use detergent and hot
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help
prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the
top, sides and outside front of the oven door with
soap and water.
