CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR

CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR

To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper towels.

Cleaning Method:

Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.

All-Purpose Appliance Cleaner Part Number 31682 (not included):

See cover for contact information.

For heavily soiled bowls, place an ammonia soaked paper towel on the stains and allow to soak for a short time, then gently scrub with a plastic scrubber.

SURFACE UNDER COOKTOP (on some models)

The coil cooktop will lift up to provide easy access for cleaning beneath. Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the support locks into place.

Cleaning Method:

Steel-wool pad

To avoid damage to the range, do not remove the cooktop.

COIL ELEMENTS (on some models)

Cleaning Method:

Damp cloth: Make sure control knobs are off and elements are cool.

Do not clean or immerse in water. Soil will burn off when hot.

BURNER BOWLS (on some models)

Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the OFF position.

Remove the coil element by pushing the edge of the coil element toward the receptacle. Lift it enough to clear the burner bowl. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle to remove. Lift out the burner bowl.

Cleaning Method:

Chrome burner bowls

Wash frequently in warm, soapy water. (It is not recommended to wash chrome bowls in a dishwasher.) A mild abrasive cleaner and a plastic scrubber can be used to remove stubborn stains.

OVEN RACKS

Cleaning Method:

Steel-wool pad

For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.

STORAGE DRAWER

Check that storage drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.

Cleaning Method:

Mild detergent

OVEN CAVITY

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result.

Cleaning Method:

Self-Cleaning cycle: See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” first. Do not use oven cleaners.

The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the off position.

3.Turn bulb counterclockwise to remove from socket.

4.Replace bulb, then bulb cover by turning clockwise.
