Care & Cleaning
General cleaning
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure aii controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required
for major cleaning later.
Follow these cleaning precautions:
* Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
Cleanlng porcelaln enamel oven and broiler drawer:
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to dean
using oven cleaners.
Adhere to the followlng precautions when using
spray oven cleaners:
• DO NOT spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
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 sensing bulb; it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. The bulb is located in the rear of
the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven
cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change
in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid
bending the bulb and capillary tube.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior
surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or
for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean
softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a
nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner
following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse well using dean water and a cloth.
Aluminum foil and utensils
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
overt and may cause CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
Aluminum fall linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
° Aluminum fall - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface burners under ANY circumstances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken
when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, the utensil may be damaged or destroyed.
Cleaning oven bottom (some models)
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and on some models
may be removed for easier cleaning.
Gentle scouring with a soapy nonabrasive plastic scrubbing
pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear water and ammonia.
If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water
and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-
abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
