General cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation fable in the Core _x
Cleaning section for more detailed information about
cleaning specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Aluminum foil and utensils
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with maferlals
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum fall linings may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners m DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM FOIL to llne the oven bottom. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
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 elements 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, not only will the utensil be damaged
or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the
ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.
Cleaning oven bottom (on some models)
Please note:
On some models the tower oven baize element is visible.
The following cleaning instruction applies ONLY for models
that have a visible lower baize element.
Oven elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The oven bake and broil
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if touched
before they have cooled sufficiently.
The baize element may be tilted from the front for better
access to the oven bottom for cleaning. It is recommended
to remove spill-overs from the oven bottom before running
a self-clean cycle. Be careful not to raise the element more
than 4 or 5 inches from a resting position.
On models with visible
baize element only;
lower baize element
may be raised from the
front 4-5 inches to
clean oven bottom.
