Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range

Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

	on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel
	- excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other
	liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the
	finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight

Surface Elements and Drip	Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.
Bowls (some models)	The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
	element will burn off. Food spilled on a cold element can be cleaned with a damp cloth any
	remaining soil will burn off the next time element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A
	SURFACE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface element and drip bowls, follow the
	instructions under General Cleaning.
	To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while
	still warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for
	about 20 minute in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or solution made of equal parts
	ammonia and water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive
	cleanser or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and
	polish, and dry with a soft cloth. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow the
	instructions under General Cleaning.
