Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Panel
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before
cleaning.
See How to Lock Out the Controls in the Using the
clock, kitchen timer and control lockout section in this
manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not
use abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and
the door, top of control panel and the drawer front.
Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and
water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping
film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the
appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to
remove the film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time.
To ensure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply
with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they
may also be washed with soap and water. Make
sure the inside of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs, in the OFF position to ensure
proper placement.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled
(such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should
not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use
a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right
away. When the surface has cooled, wash with
soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders
after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish
with a dry cloth.
Care and cleaning of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be
sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is
replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of
the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or
adults.
