CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to “Cleaning various part of the oven” on page 23 for
more detailed information about cleaning specific parts of
the range.
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth
and wipe dry to avoid scratches.
Keeping the surface burner head ports clean will prevent
improper ignition and an uneven flame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas,
blot up the spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean,
damp cloth and wipe dry.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure
all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
If ammonia is used, it must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under any circumstances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry
when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be
damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or
mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently
damaging the cooktop surface.
