The broiler pan that comes with most range/ovens is porcelain-coated steel. Clean it with a non-abrasive cleanser. If you want to replace the broiler pan instead, we offer one called the Broiler Pan and Insert in our accessories section.
Most range/oven control panels are glass and/or painted metal. You can safely use non-abrasive cleaners on these surfaces. Examples include the Rangetop Cleaner, from our accessories section under "cleaners" as well as glass cleaners and liquid degreasers.
Note: Never spray cleaners directly onto the control panel. Instead, put some cleaner on a soft, damp rag, then wipe the surface.
You usually need to replace the drip pans or bowls beneath the grates on a gas stove/range and beneath the heating element on an electric stove/range every 2 to 3 years. That's because, once they're stained, it's usually not possible to clean them completely.
If you have your appliance model number, you can order replacement original bowls by going to the parts order center. Or, you can purchase universal bowls from our accessories section.
Always clean glass and ceramic cooktops only with products made for this purpose--such as the Frigidaire Rangetop Cleaner we carry in our accessories section.
Clean your glass oven windows with any oven glass cleaner. But be careful not to clean glass surfaces that are hot!
You may be able to safely clean the knobs on your range/oven with a little dish detergent and a damp rag. But, if the numbers or lettering have worn away, you may need to replace the knobs.
If you have your model number, you can visit our Parts Order Center to purchase replacement original knobs for your range/oven. In our Accessories section, we also offer universal knob sets that fit a wide variety of different ranges/ovens.
You can replace the light bulb(s) in your range/oven, though you may need to remove a glass covering or dome to reach it. Most interior oven lights require a universal 40 watt appliance bulb, which can be found in our Accessories section.
If your oven is self-cleaning, consult the owner's manual for instructions on how to use this feature. The self-cleaning feature works by heating the interior of the oven to a temperature so hot that it incinerates the residue inside the oven. Normally, it is not a good idea to clean the interior of a self-cleaning oven with a spray cleaner; however, refer to your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer of your oven for further information.
To clean a non-self-cleaning oven, use one of the many oven cleaners that are available at grocery and hardware stores.
Some stove/ranges have heating element burners that are solid metal--there's no coil, and the stove/range isn't glass or ceramic. You can clean these solid burners using our Range Solid Element Cleaner found in our Accessories section.
