Care & Cleaning

General	cleaning
Refer to	the Cleaning		recommendation		fable	in the Core _x
Cleaning	section	for more		detailed	information	about
cleaning	specific	parts	of	the range.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the

oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with maferlals

such as aluminum foil. Aluminum fall linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners m DO NOT USE

ALUMINUM FOIL to llne the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Aluminum fall - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under ANY circumstances.

Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when

using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the

ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the

cooktop surface.

Cleaning oven bottom (on some models)

Please note:

On some models the tower oven baize element is visible. The following cleaning instruction applies ONLY for models that have a visible lower baize element.

It

is recommended

to remove

spill-overs

from

the

oven

bottom

before

running

a self-clean

cycle.

Be

careful

not

to

raise

the

element

more

than

4 or

5 inches

from

a resting

position.

On models with visible baize element only; lower baize element
