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.

The surface units and drip pans do not need to be removed before raising the cooktop. 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.

Support rod

Brushed Chrome 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 protectant may be used to help reduce spotting or fingerprinting. Wipe away excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.

Porcelain Cooktop (on some models)

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 to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

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 also be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

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

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack 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. Do not use an oven cleaner on the rack.

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