CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued
Range tops nished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spatters or soiling after
each use. Clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a mild
detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
A light coat of oil or thin cooking oil should be applied periodically to the chrome top
surface and underside. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the chrome
surface.
Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric conditions can
create an oxidation reaction on the underside of the top. This will appear as rust or in the
form of a reddish brown deposit. This will NOT AFFECT THE LIFE OF THE TOP in
comparison to the general life expectancy of the range itself.
The grate and main top should be removed to gain access to the surface burners. Remove
the burner and let it soak in hot sudsy water. Most stains will then wipe off; if not, scrub
with a strong but non-abrasive cleaning pad. Rinse the burner thoroughly.
It is very important that the burner be dry before replacing it in the range. A wet burner
will not allow the gas to ignite properly. This could result in a build-up of gas which could
result in an explosion or re.
Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler
Aluminum foil when used improperly is a cause of many range res. Make certain that
vents or air openings aren’t covered by the foil. If the vents located along the sides of the
oven bottom are blocked, poor cooking will result.
Never cover a rack completely. A piece of foil slightly larger than the utensil can be placed
on the rack beneath the utensil.
Remove and discard aluminum foil after each use. This will help prevent greases and
spilled food from accumulating and becoming a re hazard.
Cleaners and Cleaning Materials
Do not use harsh cleaners or degreasers on or around functional parts (valves, controls,
etc., or aluminum tubing). This will damage or drastically reduce the life of the part.
Use only a mild solution of soap and water on backguards, aluminum control panels
and painted surfaces. Never use harsh abrasives or cleaning powders that may scratch or
mar the surface. Make sure the cleaners and cleaning materials are suitable for use on the
area to be cleaned. Always keep cleaning materials in a safe place. Never use a sharp metal
scraper to clean glass, porcelain, or painted surfaces.
Repair Parts
When repair parts are needed, contact the dealer from whom the range was purchased. In
case your range was purchased from a source other than an appliance dealer you may
prefer to contact the manufacturer at the address shown in this manual.
Moisture
During the initial heat-up of your range, the heat mixing with the cooler air in the oven
cavity may produce fogging of the door glass or a collection of water on the door.
For a Harper-Wyman
regulator, remove
converter cap by inserting
a coin into slot in top and
twisting. Turn cap over
and re-install.
On the SCP regulator,
unscrew the converter
using a 5/8'' wrench. Turn
the cap over and reinstall.
On the Maxitrol regulator,
unscrew the brass converter cap
using a 7/8" wrench. Turn the
selector pin over and re-install.
To Convert and/or Adjust
1. Convertible Pressure Regulator
The inlet pressure of the gas supply shall be in accordance with the nominal inlet
pressure of the regulator used on the range or 1/2 psig maximum. The range should be
tested by pressurizing the regulator with an inlet pressure at least 1 inch water column
above the manufacturer's specied manifold pressure shown on the serial plate. The
range will be equipped with one of the two types of regulators shown.
Note: What you read on the converter cap or plunger is the type of gas for which the
regulator is set. If yours reads NAT, the regulator is set for natural gas. If yours reads
LP, the regulator is set for LP.
