Care & Cleaning

Raising and lowering the cooktop (some models)

To avoid possible burns DO NOT turn the surface elements on when the cooktop is raised. Be sure that the top is completely lowered and securely in place before turning on any of the surface burners.

When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Do not drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

1.Remove all items from cooktop and set aside.

2.Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front (See Fig. 1).

3.Lift the cookop high enough to allow the support rods to snap into place. The llft-up rods will support the cooktop in the raised position.

4.If necessary, clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then dry.

5.To lower the cooktop, grasp the front corner of each side of the top while pushing back on each rod with the heel of your hand. This will release the notched support. Hold the range cooktop and gently slide the top back down level to the range.

Replacing oven light (some models)

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather- faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield protects the light bulb and must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
