RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

General Cleaning

• IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
• Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

• Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.
• Affresh®† Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

Cleaning Method:

• Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.
• Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish. 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 wet. Do not clean in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Cleaning Method:

• Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser: Clean as soon as cooktop, grates, and caps are cool.
• Dishwasher (grates only, not caps): Use the most-aggressive cycle. Cooked-on soils should be soaked or scrubbed before going into a dishwasher. Although the burner grates are durable, they may lose their shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.
• Gas Grate and Drip Pan Cleaner Part Number 31617 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

SURFACE BURNERS

• Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates, and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish.

  • Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

OVEN RACKS

Cleaning Method:

• Steel-wool pad
• For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.
• Dishwasher (steam rack water reservoir only, not racks): Although the water reservoir is durable, it may lose its shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.

STORAGE/WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

• Check that storage/warming drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.
• Cleaning Method:
  • Mild detergent

OVEN CAVITY

• Do not use oven cleaners.
• Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.
• Cleaning Method:
  • Self-Cleaning cycle: See the “Self-Cleaning Cycle” or “Clean Cycle” section first.

Self-Cleaning Cycle

WARNING: Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from the oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

• IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
• Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
• Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section in the Quick Start Guide.
• Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range

• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
• Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 11/2" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
• Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
• Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
• Remove all items from the storage drawer.

How the Cycle Works

• IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.
• Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
• The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
• Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool, damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
• To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “(lock symbol) ” will be displayed. The cooling fan may continue to run.
• When “locked” shows in the display, the door of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when “locked” is displayed.
• Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12 hour delay before another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started. The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on some models): The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15 or 30 minute increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cooldown. To Self-Clean:

1. Press SELF CLEAN.
2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” keypad to enter the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.
3. Press START. The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.
4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.

GAS CONVERSIONS

• Gas conversions from Natural gas to propane gas or from propane gas to Natural gas must be done by a qualified installer.
