CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more
information about cleaning specific parts of the range.
Boiler Pan Cleaning Tips:
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler
pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed.
Use oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely
hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each
use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads.
Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven
Liners
Adhere to the following precautions when using spray
oven cleaners:
• Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
switches. Doing so could cause a short circuit and result
in sparking or fire.
• Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior
surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
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.

CAUTION
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with aluminum foil or
any other materials. 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 or any
other materials to line walls, or 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 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.
• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat
and air flow needed to obtain the best possible
cooking results for any oven.
