Care and Cleaning
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel
wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean
water, rinse and dry.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken
in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad.
The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in
the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you
must first clean off the excess grease.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove
burned-on foods.
The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial
oven cleaner. If the grid is grey enamel, it can also be
cleaned with an oven cleaner. If the grid is chrome, do
not use an oven cleaner to clean it.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in
the range.
How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range
The area under the range can be reached easily
for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer (on
some models). To remove, pull the drawer out all
the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace,
insert glides at the back of the drawer beyond the
stop on range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to
insert easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then
push in to close.
To clean under models with a front kick panel,
remove the panel by pulling it straight out at the
bottom. To replace the panel, first hook the top tabs
on and then the bottom tabs.
