Care and cleaning of the range.

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.

Vent appearance and location vary. 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 warming drawer or lower oven drawer.

Troubleshooting Tips

Lower oven drawer knob

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap

and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob is not interchangeable with the surface burner knobs. Be sure to reinstall the lower oven drawer knob to the original location. The lower oven drawer knob may be identified by the red line. Surface burner knobs have a white line.

Consumer Support

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces

with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately after oven cools.

To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.
