CARE AND CLEANING

Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary
for the range to operate properly with correct
combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door,
and at the bottom of the range, under the kick panel
or storage drawer (depending on the model).	Vent appearance and location vary.

Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)

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.

To raise the cooktop:

1.Be sure the burners are turned off.

2.Remove the grates.

3.Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and

a clean cloth. If you

removed your surface burners while cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when replacing them.

After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not to pinch your fingers).

Removable Kick Panel (on some models)

The kick panel may be removed for cleaning under the range.

To remove, lift up the bottom of the panel slightly to disengage the panel from the tabs at the base of the range. Pull the bottom of the panel forward until the spring clips are released at the top of

the panel.

To replace, insert the two slots at the bottom of the panel onto the two tabs at the base of the range and push the top of the panel forward to engage the spring clips.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green®, or Formula 409®.

For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami®or Cameo®.

Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
