Care and cleaning of the range. www.GEAppliances.com

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for
cleaning, please note that the knobs are
in the OFF position. When replacing the
knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape
and cooktop labels on new appliances
is an application of a household liquid
dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or
cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip

device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this

precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Burner Assembly

The burner assemblies should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner heads and
burner caps can be removed for easy
cleaning.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed beyond the surface of the
burner base. When cleaning the cooktop,
be careful not to snag the electrode of
the spark igniter with your cleaning
cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark
igniter, leave the burner heads in place
when cleaning the cooktop.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop
controls while cleaning the cooktop.
A slight electrical shock might result
which could cause you to knock over
hot cookware.
Wash burner parts with an all-purpose
non-abrasive cleaner and warm water.
Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a
cloth—do not reassemble while wet.
To reassemble, replace the burner head
first, then the burner cap and finally the
burner grate. Be sure the pins in the
burner head are properly located in the
burner base holes.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE
BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER
PARTS IN PLACE.
