Cleaning a Manual or Standard Clean Oven

For cleaning light soils:

Mild dish soap and water; soap-filled scouring pad

• Frequent wiping with dish soap and water (particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the time between major cleanings.
• Rinse thoroughly. Soap left on the liner can cause additional stains when the oven is used again.

For cleaning heavy soils:

We don't recommend using commercial oven cleaners; however, if you choose to use one:

1. Choose a commercial cleaner made for use in standard clean ovens and follow product label instructions.
2. Apply cleaner. The use of rubber gloves is recommended, unless you have an allergy to latex or rubber.
3. Wipe or rub lightly on stubborn stains. The area around the broil element requires a little more time to clean.
4. Rinse well.
5. Be sure to wipe off any oven cleaner that gets on the thermostat bulb. (Bulb looks like a small diameter bare copper wire inside the oven on the back or side wall, near the top of the oven.

 

Note:

• Before cleaning a standard oven range, the job can be made easier by using household ammonia. 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. Do not turn oven on while ammonia is inside.
• For additional cleaning information, please consult the Owner's Manual. Download a copy of the Owners Manual.
