CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning under bake element (some models)

The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity. For

some models, if the lower bake element is visible it may be

tilted up for easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.

Remove the oven racks before raising the element. Be

careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches

from the resting position.

Cleaning under cooktop (some models)

To raise the cooktop for cleaning (some models)

1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front (See Figure 15).

Lift-up rods will support the top in a raised position. Only

lift the cook top far enough to allow the support rods to

snap into place.

2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy

water.

To lower, hold the cooktop up and gently push back on each

rod to release the notched support. Hold the cooktop while

slowly sliding the lift rods down into the range frame.

Figure 14: Lift bake element

When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the sides

with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Do not

drop or bend the range cooktop when raising or lowering.

This could damage the cooktop surface.
