Care and cleaning of the range.

ge.com

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Safety Instructions

 

Lodge® Cast Iron Griddle

Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and dry thoroughly.

Before cooking, prepare the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil.

After cooking, clean the griddle with

a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used.

Towel dry immediately and apply a light coat of cooking spray or vegetable oil while the griddle is still warm.

Store in a cool, dry place.

Do not wash in a dishwasher.

Griddle Precautions:

■If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil. See

the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

■Do not allow grease to accumulate

under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle as soon as it is cool. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

■Do not place your griddle in the microwave.

■Always turn off all surface units before removing the griddle. Use caution when handling a hot griddle.

Care andCleaning

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Protecting

STAINLESS STEEL has a reputation for withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a key reason why it is so popular with the food service industry.

However, stainless steel appliances can have surface imperfections, discolorations or blemishes that consumers with a critical eye notice and find unattractive in the home. These discolorations or blemishes can be caused by something as simple as leaving fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel surface overnight.

For stainless steel appliances where blemishes are prone to show on the surface, we recommend APPLYING A COAT OF CERAMA BRYTE® Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish & Conditioner (purchased separately—follow instructions).

This will help you to maintain the brightness and appearance of your stainless steel appliance.

Cleaning

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

■In order to avoid any discolorations and/or grease stains, we recommend cleaning and removing any spills, spots and grease from the range after use.

■It is important to use a soft cloth or paper towel every time the range is cleaned to avoid any scratches.

Read carefully the instructions on the back of the Brightener (included with your range) for better results.

Cleaning Instructions:

Wash using warm, soapy water:

Wet soft cloth or paper towel (avoid using excessive water).

Wipe the surface in the direction

of the grain (following the steel lines).

Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper towel and dry the range.

Apply a degreaser that does not contain sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel Cleaner (follow instructions).

Apply Cerama Bryte® Stainless Steel Brightener (follow instructions).

Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed.

Follow these instructions for any Stainless Steel surface on your range.

DO NOT USE the following products for cleaning the Cooktop or Stainless Steel parts:

•Caustic Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) or cleaners containing this chemical

•Hard or Steel Wool Pads

•Abrasive Materials or Chemicals
