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. 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 kick panel or
storage drawer (depending on the model).	Vent appearance and location vary

Lift-up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)

2.Remove the grates.

3.Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

Some models have dual support rods that will hold the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy

water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be

careful not to pinch your fingers.
