CARE AND CLEANING OF THE OVEN
Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any part •
of the range.
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 vent
Oven vent
The oven vent is located above the right rear surface unit.•
This area could become hot during oven use.•
It is normal for steam to come out of the vent.•
The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never •
block this vent.
Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot and soapy water.•
For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and leave for 30 •
to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these surfaces; they
can scratch.
Cleaning stainless steel surfaces
1. Shake the bottle of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish well.
2. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or damp paper towel.
3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary.
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.•
If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner has been used before to clean •
the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the
Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish.
Cleaning the broil pan and insert
Do not attempt to clean the broil pan or insert by leaving it in the oven during a self-•
cleaning cycle.
After broiling, remove the broil pan from the oven. Remove the insert from the pan. Carefully •
pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broil pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled scouring pad.•
Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.•
Both the broil pan and insert may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner and are •
dishwasher-safe.
Do not store a soiled broil pan and insert anywhere in the range.•
These are not supplied with the range.
