While still warm, wipe top with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove spillovers, grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the hot top range looks unsightly and slows down cooking speed because it reduces the flow of heat to the utensil.
Clean oven and oven door daily, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauces were baked, meats roasted, and if there have been spillovers.
After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be cleared by setting the thermostat at 500°F (260°C) and allowing the oven to operate unloaded for 30 to 45 minutes.
Empty the broiler grease pan/trough daily or as often as necessary. CAUTION: Remove the grease pan/trough slowly and be careful of liquid wave action. It is recommended that the grease pan/ trough be emptied whenever it is 3⁄4 filled. The drip shield, grids and grease pan/trough should be washed with a mild

After seasoning, replace grates onto the range. Turn all open top sections ON LOW and allow them to burn for at least 15 minutes before using pots or pans on the range top.
Season the open top grates after each cleaning. Failure to season grates will cause grates to rust.
Weekly:

When reinstalling the burner back onto the unit, be sure the burner heads are properly connected. Do not light the pilot or turn burner valve “ON” with the burner head removed.
