Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part 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 cause injury.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward.
The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be
reinstalled.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify
the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
If your range has no anti-tip bracket, call 1.800.932.4267 to receive one at no cost.
WARNING
Your range has two or three professional-
style double grates. These grates are position
specific. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used in their proper position;
they cannot be interchanged left to right or
front to back. For convenience, the
undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "LEFT FRONT" and "RIGHT FRONT."
Make sure the front portion of both grates is
in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the
front of the range. In addition, the middle
grate is supported by the left and right
grates and must be installed LAST for stability.
Cleaning
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. When replacing the
grates, be sure they are positioned securely
over the burners.
Burner Grates
Replace the grates so that continuous arcs
are formed with the center ribs of all three
grates.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak several hours or
overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due to
their continual exposure to high
temperatures. You will notice this sooner with
lighter color grates.
NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-
cleaning oven.
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel
surface of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills right
away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot if
allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface
has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to
the Stainless steel surfaces section.
