Cleaning the Appliance

Exterior Cleaning

Before cleaning any part of the range, make sure all heating elements are turned to OFF “” and are cool.

Clean range after each use to prevent sticky grease built-up and spills from cooking on. Wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. Wipe with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Do not use abrasives, steel wool, cleaners containing ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners on any exterior parts of the range, except the porcelain enamel cooktop. If a metal cleaner or polish is used on metal trim, be sure the label specifies that it is safe for use on chrome and aluminium.

Control Panel

Control knobs

If the control panel needs cleaning turn the control knobs to OFF “ ”, then pull knobs straight off the shafts.

Most cleaning of your steel/aluminum control panel can be done using a clean cloth with warm soapy water or other mild household cleaners.

Cooktop cleaning/polishing creme can be purchased through authorized service centers or major department stores.
