CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: BRAND NAMES - In this section on cleaning,
the use of name brands is intended only to indicate
a type of cleaner. This is not constitute an
endorsement. The omi
s
sion of any name brand
cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy.
Many products are regional in distribution and can
be found in the local mar
k
ets and department
stores.
RANGETOP
Turn off all the Burners and allow the Grates to cool
before starting to clean the Range top. Do not clean hot
surfaces.
This could burn you. Clean only when the Range or
Range top has cooled to room temperature.
BURNER GRATES
When lifting the grates, be careful as they are heavy.
Place them on a protected surface, so they won't
scratch the surface they are laid on.
The Burner Grates are Matte Porcelain Enamel over
Cast Iron. When cool they may be wiped clean while on
the Range top using hot soapy water, then rinsed and
wiped dry. The burner grates will not rust as they are
matte porcelain enamel on both sides for durability.
The occasional use of mild abrasive cleaners such as
Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub®. Abrasive cleansers, used
vigorously or too often, can eventually harm the
enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly
and dry.
The Porcelain may pop of the edge of the Grates due
to rapid temperature change when the Burners are
turned on, Do not be concerned as this does not result
in the deterioration of the Grates. The Cast Iron soon
darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Be careful
when wiping an area where the porcelain has popped
off, as the edges may be sharp.
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the Burners
clean. It is necessary to clean the Burners if they do not
light even through the igniter clicks, after a severe boil
over, or when the flame does not turn blue.
All stainless steel parts of the appliance can be cleaned
with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine
with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Make sure you clean in the
DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN and never in circular motions
as this may scratch the stainless steel.
When cleaning this range or range-top:
1. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first.
Some brands of cleaners of the same type are
harsher than others, read their directions. A scent
or a propellant can make a difference in the
product. Read the ingredients. Try on a small
area first.
2. To avoid marring the surface always rub metal
finishes in the direction of the polish (grain) lines.
The cleaner will be more effective when used in
the direction of the polish lines.
3. Use only c
l
ean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels
for cleaning or scouring (Use only soap pads
with soap still in them. An empty pad can
scratch), as recommended in this section.
4. Rinse all parts thoroughly and wipe dry to avoid
water marks.
When the grates and burners are cool, remove the Grate.
Burner Cap and the Retention Ring. All are easily removed
by lifting them to separate the parts. Wash these parts in
hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The Burner
Caps are porcelain enamel coated. Follow the directions
given for the burner grates for detailed cleaning
instructions. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the
toothed burner ports, if necessary.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the Locating Pin
at the bottom of the Burner Cap is properly aligned with the
Retention Ring and Burner Base.
Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous
flame and poor burner performance. If the flames are
uneven, over sized, or yellow, check the alignment of the
burner components when the burner is cool.
