CARE AND CLEANING

Gas Burners and Cooktop

Clean the surface burners as necessary with warm soapy water. Remove any stubborn soil by soaking the burner, then scouring it with a powdered cleanser or a soap-filled scouring pad.

Clean the gas ports with a straight pin. Do not

enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a

wooden toothpick since it may break off and clog the port.

Do not clean the burners with any of the following caustic cleaners: commercial oven

cleaner, dishwasher detergent, or metal polishes. These will damage the finish. Do not clean the burners in the dishwasher,

The burner and burner tube must be dry before use. They can be dried in an oven set on Warm.

Porcelain Cooktop

The cooktop on your range is designed with two contoured wells which contain spills until they can be wiped up.

All spillovers, especially acidic spillovers, should be wiped up as soon as possible with a dry cloth. To prevent possible cracking or chipping of the porcelain, never wipe a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth. Once the surface is cool, clean with warm, sudsy water.

Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on the porcelain finish for they will permanently damage the finish.

Lift Up Cooktop

Your Maytag range features an "upswept" cooktop that can be lifted up for convenient access to the area under the cooktop. The top is hinged and can be raised but not removed.

To lift upswept eooktop: When cool, grasp the front edge of the cooktop and gently lift up until the two automatic prop rods at the front of the cooktop snap into place.

To lower the eooktop: Hold the front edge of the cooktop and carefully push back on each prop rod to release the notched support. Then gently lower the top into place. The prop rods will slide into the range frame.

Manual Clean Oven

You may clean the porcelain enamel oven interior of your Maytag range using a commercial oven cleaner. Be sure to follow all

the package instructions and avoid getting the oven cleaner on any of the other suKaces of the

range.

Your oven may also be cleaned with warm sudsy water, mild abrasive cleaners and plastic scouring pads. Do not use metallic scouring pads because they can scratch the surface. Never wipe a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth as cracking and chipping may result.

For more information on cleaning your Maytag range, refer to the cleaning chart on pages 17-18.
