CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued
Range tops finished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spaters 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 surfhce.
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 ofL 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 fire.
Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler
Aluminum foil when used improperly is a cause of many range fires. Make certain that
vents or air openings aren't covered by the foil. lfthe 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 fire 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 suri, ices.
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. To
