Care and Cleaning
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more
detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.
The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Aluminum foil and utensils
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these
materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of
materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circulation
in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners
under any circumstances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much
lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.
Important: It is recommended to remove all racks from the oven
during self-clean cycles, but porcelain racks may be left in the
oven if they are soiled. After a self clean cycle, or anytime the
gliding is rough, the glide racks should be treated with
graphite lubrication.
Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners
_To avoid possible burns do not attempt any of
the cleaning instructions provided below before turning off all of
the surface burners and allow them to cool.
Any additions, changes or conversions required
in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency.
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head
ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame. See the following sections for more instructions.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up
spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and
wipe dry.
To clean burner grates
• Clean when the grates are cool.
• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive
cleanser.
• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
To clean burner caps
• Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled.
• Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and
absorbent cloth.
• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning
including the bottom and inside of cap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain.
• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps
properly in place. See the following important notes below.
