Kenmore 362.6278 Range User Manual


 
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.
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 spiltovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner., Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, 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 wilt 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 outside of the
oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinets or painted surfaces. Oven cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
