Cleaning the Appliance
Exterior Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of the range, make sure all heating elements are turned to OFF “
” and are cool.
Clean range after each use to prevent sticky grease
Do not use abrasives, steel wool, cleaners containing ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners on any exterior parts of the range, except the porcelain enamel cooktop. If a metal cleaner or polish is used on metal trim, be sure the label specifies that it is safe for use on chrome and aluminium.
Control Panel
Control knobs (some models)
If the control panel needs cleaning turn the control knobs to OFF “
”, then pull knobs straight off the shafts.
Most cleaning of your steel/aluminum control panel can be done using a clean cloth with warm soapy water or other mild household cleaners.
Sometimes, applying few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning/polishing cream (with silicone) will remove any remaining soil and will leave a protective coating which will keep your range looking like new.
Cooktop cleaning/polishing cream can be purchased through authorized service centers or major department stores.
Models with glass panel:
Use a clean cloth or a sponge with warm, soapy water or paper towel and spray glass cleaner to clean the glass panel. Be careful not to let water/cleaner go behind the glass or near the knob activated controls.
Replace knobs; engage the flat surface inside the knob cavity with the flat on the shaft. Push knobs onto the shafts.
Coil Surface Elements (some models)
Prior to cleaning the coil elements make sure they are cold and that control knobs are turned to OFF “
”.
Warning: Never leave covers on the coil elements as they could be permanently damaged if the coil is turned on by acci- dent.
