CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE

CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS (IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.

Turn all controls OFF before removing the burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).

The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.

The electrode of
	Electrode
the spark igniter is
exposed when the
burner head is

removed. When one

burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Burner Heads (on sealed burners only)

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.

The slits in the burner heads of your range must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these openings.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

Before putting the burner head back, shake out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Replace the burner caps. Make sure that caps are replaced on the correct size burner. There is one small, 2 medium and one large cap.

Burner Caps (on sealed burners only)

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.

Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth—don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps.
