Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

 

 

 

 

 

Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range

 

 

 

 

 

is cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will

 

 

 

 

 

reduce the effort required for major cleanings later.

paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the

 

 

 

 

 

racks glide easier into the rack positions).
