Oven Cleaning
Your range must be kept clean and free of accumulations of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
This is most important in the oven and broiling compartment. When cleaning the oven, make sure
the oven is turned “Off” and oven is cool. For simple spills, clean the oven with a strong solution of
detergent, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry.
When food or grease has burned on the oven lining, apply a strong oven cleaning compound. Follow
directions on the package, but avoid applying a strong cleaner to the front flanges or sides of end
panels because it may destroy the oven door seals or plated surfaces.
Oven racks, oven rack supports, broiler pan rack, oven bottoms, and broiler pan are all removable
for easy cleaning. Oven racks may be cleaned in your sink with dish cloth and detergent. If spillage
has remained on the racks for an extended period, more vigorous cleaning with a steel wool soap
pad may be required.
Surface Burners
Top burners require little care other than to wipe off the head of each burner. If a boilover occurs,
the burner cap can be easily lifted out so burner port holes can be cleaned in hot soapy water with
a soft brush. There are no bolts or screws to remove. The igniter must also be kept clean to ensure
quick positive starts. Simply lift the burner cap and clean. When replacing, be sure the tab is locked
securely in position on the burner base. For normal or everyday cleaning of light spills, wipe the
burner caps with a damp cloth. For heavy duty cleaning—cooked spills, oil stains, etc. scrub with
a tub and tile type of cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after every cleaning operation. Wipe away excess
water .
