Instructions

Care and cleaning of the range.

and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety

Clean these

holes

thoroughly on each burner.

Burners

The holes in the surface burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers,

which could clog these holes. Wipe off the surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from the range. The burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.

NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place to keep them from wobbling around during shipment. Remove and discard the shipping screw.

To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub® brand or Bon Ami® brand. Rinse well to remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a small pin or sewing needle.

Before putting the surface burner back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.

Installation Instructions Care

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

To remove the knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Troubleshooting Tips

Oven Shelves and Broiler Rack

The shelves and broiler rack can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or with an abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the shelves and broiler rack with clean water and dry.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
