CARE AND CLEANING OF THE OVEN
WARNING
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.
