Care and Maintenance
Control Knobs
To clean, use a damp soapy cloth for everyday cleaning of
the knobs. For heavier cleaning for grease, etc., apply a non-
abrasive liquid detergent to a damp cloth. Clean and then
dry completely.
Make sure not to rotate the knobs when cleaning.
Burner Grates
These three grates should only be used in their proper
positions. DO NOT operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. To clean, AFTER
COOLING, use hot water or white vinegar, and DO NOT
place in a dishwasher. When replacing the grates, be sure
they are positioned securely over the burners.
Please note that the grates have rubber pads on the feet
that come into contact with the range to avoid scratches.
After cleaning it is important to verify that these rubber pads
are still there. Should they come off, they can be reapplied
using a heat-resistant adhesive.
Burner Rings
Lift off when cool. Wash burner rings in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water. To remove burned-on food particles,
you may scour with a plastic scouring pad. Thoroughly dry
before returning the rings to the range.
The rings are NOT dishwasher safe.
Do not use cleaners for stainless steel surfaces as these
rings are not stainless steel.
Oven Door Exterior
To clean, apply the glass cleaner onto a sponge and clean.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the door.
Burner Caps
Lift off when cool. Wash Burner Caps in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water. Remove any food from between
the burner slots using a small non-abrasive brush like a
toothbrush, and afterwards wipe using a damp cloth.
To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the cap
and separate the two parts. Clean the burner holes routinely
with a small gauge wire or needle and especially after bad
spillovers which could clog these holes.
Thoroughly dry before returning the heads to the range.
The heads are NOT dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water
or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the
surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
DO NOT use a steel wool pad as it will scratch the surface.
Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides
or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners.
Oven Cavity
This appliance does NOT have a self-cleaning feature.
Use an appropriate cleaning product designed specically to
clean the inside of ovens. IMPORTANT: Always follow label
instructions on cleaning products.
Lower Interior Lower Grill Element
To remove the element, support one side with your hand
while removing the retainer with the other.
To clean, use warm sudsy water or a cleaner specically
designed for this item. When cleaning, make sure not to apply
excessive force on the element as it is fragile. Reposition the
element and secure the retainer back in place.
DO NOT use the oven with the grill element hanging down—
it must be repositioned after cleaning.
Storage Drawer
Make sure the drawer is closed and then empty it
completely. Use a mild detergent to clean.
