General Directions
Do not clean bake element or broil element. Any soil will burn off when element is heated. Bake element is hinged and can be lifted to clean oven bottom.
Broiler pan and grid
Soap and a nonabrasive plastic scouring pad
Drain fat, cool pan and grid slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and grid stand in oven to cool.) Sprinkle with soap. Fill the pan with warm water. Let pan and grid stand for a few minutes. Wash or scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and grid may also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Pull off knobs. Wash gently but do not soak. Dry and return controls to oven, making sure to match flat area on the knob to the flat area on shaft. Allow top to cool before cleaning. Wash surface with a dampened cloth and soapy water. For extra dried on soil, scrub surface with smoothtop cleaner conditioner available from an Amana Dealer. A single edge razor blade can be used to scrape off dried on soil. Do not use a harsh cleanser or steel wool pad. Metal markings should be cleaned after each use. If metal markings are allowed to remain on the top they will become increasingly difficult to remove. Clean the outside of the door and the window area with warm soapy water. Do not clean the oven door gasket. Gasket should not be moved while cleaning. Avoid getting any cleaning materials on gasket. Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy water. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. If knobs are removed, do not allow water to run down inside surface while cleaning. Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild soap and water prolongs time between self-cleanings. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. For heavy soil, clean by hand and rinse thoroughly. Remove the drawer and racks for ease in cleaning. Be sure drawer is dry before replacing.
