Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception.

Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect

power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.

Surface Burner

Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get

a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow these

steps:

• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.

• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.

• Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.

Burner Caps

The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned.

ALWAYS clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner caps

clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull

burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps

with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive

cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for

cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and to

avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.

Burner Head

If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean

the ports. When replacing burner head, carefully align the 2 tabs underneath the burner head with the outside edge of burner base.

Make sure the tabs are not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.

Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.

Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner caps and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.

Burner Base

The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths,

cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon

spatula. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.

• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.

• Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.

Control Panel

DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot,

soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

Oven Surfaces

Several different finishes have been used in your oven. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS,

OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.

Control Knobs

MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in

detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia

or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.

Self-Clean

Your oven features a self-clean cycle for the oven interior. See the "Self-Clean Cycle" section for complete instructions.
