How to Clean

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent & water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar & water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry & polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth 1st. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and display areas. DO NOT use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF & remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Use the general cleaning instructions provided in the paragraph above.

Clean burner grates, broiler pan & insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of

clean water & ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse & wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range.

Gas Cooktop and Surface Burners

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. For more information about cleaning the gas burners see Cleaning the Contoured Cooktop Well Areas, Burner Cap, Burner Head and Burner Drip Pans in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Cleaning the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
