(See Cleaning Guide

Proper care and cleaning are
important so your range will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for it to help
assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL
POWER IS OFF BEFORE
CLEANING ANY
PMT
OF
THE RANGE.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the
control
panel clean after each use of the
oven. For a more thorough cleaning,
the knobs can be removed by pulling
them off the knob stems. If knobs
are removed, do not allow water@
run down the inside surface of the
glass while cleaning. Clean with
mild soap and water, rinse with
clean water and polish dry with
a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers,
strong liquid cleaners or oven
cleaners on the control
panel—
they will damage the finish.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop
(on
model so equipped)
Clean the brushed
chrome top
with warm, soapy water or an
all-
purpose household cleaner and
immediately dry it with a clean,
soft cloth.
TAe
care to dry the
surface following the “grain.”
Ta
help prevent finger marks after
cleaning, spread a thin film of baby
oil on the surface. Wipe away
excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
A good appliance wax will help
protect this finish.
Porcelain Cooktop
(on model so equipped)
There are a number of precautions
you can take to avoid marring the
porcelain enamel surface of the
cooktop and prevent it from
becoming dull. Don’t slide heavy
pans across it. If you spill foods
with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or
foods with high sugar content,
clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowed to set, these foods
could
cause a dull spot. Also, no matter
how stubborn the food stain, never
use harsh, abrasive cleansers. They
could permanently damage the
enamel surface. We recommend a
cleanser, such as “Soft
Scrub@”
brand cleanser, or a similar
cleaning product.

Clorox Company.

Lift-Up Cooktop
Clean
the
area under the cooktop
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire.
To make
cleaning easier, the entire
cooktop maybe
lifled
up and
supported in the up position.
Be
sure all
burners are turned off
before raising the cooktop.
Then
remove the grates and drip pans,
gnsp
the two front burner wells
and lift up. Dual support rods will
hold the cooktop up while you
clean
underneath it.
After cleaning under the cooktop
with hot, mild soapy water and a
clean cloth, lower the
coolctop.
Be
careful not to pinch your fingers.
