CARE and MAINTENANCE

When cleaning this range:

BURNER GRATES

Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance particularly the griddle or the grill while hot.

All parts of the appliance (except the stainless steel griddle) can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.

1.Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners of the same type are harsher then others, read their directions. A scent or a propellant can make a difference in the product, read the ingredients. Try on a small area first.

2.To avoid marring the surface always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines. The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.

3.Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic non-metal or steel wool soap pads for cleaning or scour- ing (use only soap pads with soap still in them, an empty pad can scratch), as recommended in this section.

4.Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.

Brand Names

In this section on cleaning, the use of name brands is intend- ed only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does not constitute an endorsement. The omission of any name brand cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are regional in distribution and can be found in the local markets and department stores.

COOKTOP

Turn off all the burners and allow the grates to cool, before starting to clean the cooktop. Clean the griddle or the grill very carefully, while still hot, see directions. If you wipe off any part of the cooktop while it is hot do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in steam burns.

When lifting the grates be careful as they are heavy. Place them on a protected surface, so they won’t scratch the sur- face they are laid on.

The burner grates are porcelain enamel over cast iron. When cool they may be placed in the dishwasher, or wiped clean while on the cooktop using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry.

The occasional use of mild abrasive cleansers such as Bon- Ami®, Soft Scrub® or a soap-filled steel wool pad is okay. Abrasive cleansers, used vigorously or too often, can even- tually harm the enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry.

The porcelain may pop off the edge of the grates due to rapid temperature change when the burners are turned on. Do not be concerned as this does not result in the deterio- ration of the grates. The cast iron soon darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Be careful when wiping an area where the porcelain has popped off, as the edges may be sharp.

BURNERS

For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the igniter clicks, if there has been a severe boil over or when the flame does not burn blue.

The burners have been designed in two pieces for ease in cleaning. When the burner grate and the burner are cool, remove the grate. The burner cap and the port ring can eas- ily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The port ring and the burner cap are porcelain enamel, follow the directions above.
