Care and cleaning of the range. geappliances.ca
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Cast Iron Griddle
Rinse with hot water (do not use soap),
and dry thoroughly.
Before cooking, prepare the surface
with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
After cooking, clean the griddle with
a stiff brush and hot water. Using soap
is not recommended, and harsh
detergents should never be used.
Towel dry immediately and apply a light
coat of cooking spray or vegetable oil
while the griddle is still warm.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Do not wash in a dishwasher.
Griddle Precautions:
n If something has spilled under the griddle,
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible
to prevent “baked on” food soil. See
the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
n Do not allow grease to accumulate
under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard.
Clean under the griddle as soon as it is cool.
See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.
n Do not place your griddle in the microwave.
n Always turn off all surface units before
removing the griddle. Use caution when
handling a hot griddle.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Protecting
STAINLESS STEEL has a reputation for
withstanding tough abuse for years. This is a
key reason why it is so popular with the food
service industry.
However, stainless steel appliances can
have surface imperfections, discolorations
or blemishes that consumers with a critical
eye notice and find unattractive in the home.
These discolorations or blemishes can be
caused by something as simple as leaving
fingerprint smudges on the stainless steel
surface overnight.
For stainless steel appliances where
blemishes are prone to show on the surface,
we recommend APPLYING ACOAT OF CERAMA
BRYTE
®
Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish &
Conditioner (purchased separately—follow
instructions).
This will help you to maintain the brightness and
appearance of your stainless steel appliance.
Cleaning
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
n In order to avoid any discolorations and/or
grease stains, we recommend cleaning and
removing any spills, spots and grease from
the range after use.
n It is important to use a soft cloth or paper
towel every time the range is cleaned to
avoid any scratches.
Read carefully the instructions on the back
of the Brightener (included with your range)
for better results.
Cleaning Instructions:
Wash using warm, soapy water:
Wet soft cloth or paper towel
(avoid using excessive water).
Wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain (following the steel lines).
Rinse and wring out a soft cloth or paper
towel and dry the range.
Apply a degreaser that does not contain
sodium hydroxide or Stainless Steel
Cleaner (follow instructions).
Apply Cerama Bryte
®
Stainless Steel
Brightener (follow instructions).
Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed.
Follow these instructions for any Stainless
Steel surface on your range.
DO NOT USE the following products for
cleaning the Cooktop or Stainless Steel parts:
• Caustic Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) or cleaners
containing this chemical
• Hard or Steel Wool Pads
• Abrasive Materials or Chemicals
