50 Care and Cleaning
General Care & Cleaning
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the
gas burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are
cleaned up immediately. Correct and consistent cleaning is
essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food
spills and grease spatters are not removed, they may burn onto
the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can
be hazardous to your health and can chemically damage the
cooking surface.
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.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with
aluminum foil. Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from
the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
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.
Cleaning the Cooktop and Surface Burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt any of the cooktop
cleaning instructions provided before turning OFF all of the
surface burners and allow them to completely 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.
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt to operate the surface
burners without the burner caps.
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.
IMPORTANT!
Your appliance is shipped with the burner heads and burner
caps in the correct locations. Before using your gas appliances
be sure to follow the installation instructions before operating
and remove all packing tape from the cooktop area.
Cleaning 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.
Cleaning surface burner grates
• Clean only after the grates are completely cool.
• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive
cleanser or clean in the dishwasher.
• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
Cleaning 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. Read important notes.
