CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Probe

The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.

Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.

Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the 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.

Oven Shelves and Convection Roasting Rack

Clean the oven shelves (including the offset shelfl and the convection roasting rack with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves and rack w~ith clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves and convection roasting rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven,

however, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

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.
