CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.

Lift-Up/Off Cooktop

Hold cooktop flat to remove

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up or off.

Be sure all burners are turned off before raising the cooktop. Then remove the grates. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift the cooktop up or off. Be careful of the pilots when the cooktop is up.

After cleaning underneath the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth, lower or replace the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

To replace the cooktop if you have removed it, insert the two tabs at the back of the cooktop into slots at the base of the backguard.

NOTE: Porcelain enamel can chip if dropped. Handle the cooktop carefully.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Burner Grates

Lift the grates out when cool.

The grates should be washed

regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot,

soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates

in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap- filled scouring pad if necessary.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Kick Panel

Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well. Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the surface.
