Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool.

After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven, however, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

Oven Heating Elementi

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.

Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate around the bake element gently wipe around the element with warm water.

Broil Element

Bake Element

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove

the broiler pan from themlmy\x\I\T\ oven. Remove the grid

from the pan. Carefully

pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must first clean off the excess grease.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. If the grid is grey enamel, it can also be cleaned with an oven cleaner. If the grid is chrome, do not use an oven cleaner to clean it.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.

How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range

The area under the range can be reached easily for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer (on some models). To remove, pull the drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then push in to close.

To clean under models with a front kick panel, remove the panel by pulling it straight out at the bottom. To replace the panel, first hook the top tabs on and then the bottom tabs.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash with

soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth. 29
