CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Lift-Up Cooktop

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop. The support rod will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

Brushed Chrome Cooktop (on some models) Porcelain Cooktop (on some models)

Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy water or Bon Ami@ brand cleanser rinse, and immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry the surface following the “grain.” To help prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on the surface or a chrome protestant may be used to help reduce spotting or fingerprinting. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acid 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 to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders. 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.

Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the shelvea with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil, use scouring pads. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse well and dry.

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 the shelves slide more easily.

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the pan and rack in hot, soapy water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack while hot with detergent and cover with wet paper towels or a dish cloth. Burned-on foods will soak loose while the meal is being served. Wash, scour if necessary with a

26soap-filled or plastic scouring pad. Rinse well and dry.
