RANGE CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in the glass breaking.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES

(on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

■Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or non-abrasive scrubbing pad:

Gently clean around the model and serial number plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

CERAMIC GLASS (on some models)

Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.

Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to prevent streaking and staining.

Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended regularly to help prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition the cooktop, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to order.

A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor blades out of the reach of children.

Light to moderate soil

■Paper towels or clean damp sponge:

Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear oven mitts while doing so.

Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)

■Cooktop Scraper:

Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear oven mitts while doing so.

■Cooktop Polishing Creme and clean damp paper towel:

Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration

■Cooktop Polishing Creme or non-abrasive cleanser:

Rub product into soil with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Burned-on soil

■Cooktop Polishing Creme and Cooktop Scraper:

Rub creme into soil with damp paper towel. Hold scraper as flat as possible on surface and scrape. Repeat for stubborn spots. Polish entire cooktop with creme and paper towel.

Metal marks from aluminum and copper

■Cooktop Polishing Creme:

Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. The marks will not totally disappear but after many cleanings become less noticeable.

Tiny scratches and abrasions

■Cooktop Polishing Creme:

Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. Scratches and abrasions do not affect cooking performance and after many cleanings become less noticeable.
