Safety Instructions

Care and cleaning of the range.

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.

Operating Instructions

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

and Cleaning

Pull the knob straight off the stem.

Control Knobs

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.

Burner Assembly

The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.

Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.

The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning. Removing them gives you access to the burner bowls.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner bowl. When cleaning the burner bowl, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the burner bowls.

Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the burner bowls. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not reassemble while wet.

If the igniter orifice gets dirty or clogged you may use a small sewing needle to remove the soil.

To reassemble, replace the burner head first, then the burner cap and finally the burner grate.
