RANGE CARE
GeneralCleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside
surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a
cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled
completely could result in the glass breaking.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing
pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each
other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
Do not reassemble caps on burners while they are wet.
Cleaning Method:
Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive
cleanser:

GRIDDLE (on some models)
Oil or food residue should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop
and the griddle are cool. Do not allow grease to accumulate
under the griddle.
Cleaning the griddle in dishwasher can damage the nonstick
coating.
The use of abrasive cleaners, steel-wood pads or other abrasive
scrubbing pads can damage the nonstick coating.
Cleaning Method:
Wipe with a dry soft cloth or soft paper towels to remove food
particles.
Soap and water or other cleaner safe for nonstick pans.

If the griddle is washed, it will need to be coated again with
vegetable oil to protect the nonstick finish and preserve the
durability of the griddle.
