CARINGHIRYOURRANGE
Your range is designed so you can care for it easily. You can do most cleaning with items found around your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and working like new.
Explosion Hazard
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the cooktop.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.
Use this chart to get specific information on cleaning your range. Before cleaning, always make sure all controls are off and the range is cool.

NOTE: Do not let foods containing acids (such as vinegar, tomato, or lemon juice) remain on the surface. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Also, wipe up milk or egg spills when the cooktop is cool. Be careful when cleaning around the model and serial number plate; too much scrubbing could remove the numbers.
