Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil
element. Any soil will burn off when the
elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift
the bake element. Clean with warm
soapy water.
Broiler Pan & 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.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the range.
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.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven—top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the
door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a
cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
■
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
■
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located
at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the
sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being
careful not to move the sensor as a change in
its position could affect how the oven bakes.
■
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
