• If the gas or electrical supply is inaccessible, lift the
unit slightly at the front and pull out away from the
wall.
• Pull only as far as necessary to disconnect the gas
and electrical supply.
• Finish removing the unit for servicing and cleaning.
• Reinstall in reverse order making sure to level the
range and check gas connections for leaks.

instructions.
Control Panel and Knobs:
• Before cleaning the control panel be sure that the

and warm soapy water. Remove residues and dry
carefully; excess water in and around the controls
may damage the stove.

Oven Rack:
• To make the rack slide more easily you may apply a
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper
towel and wipe the edges of the rack with it.
Broiler Pan:
• Remove broiler pan from oven after broiling and
carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a
proper container.
• Wash and rinse the broiler pan using hot water and a
soap-filled scouring pad.
• If food has burned on, sprinkle with detergent
while it is hot and cover it with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on food.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool pads or harsh abrasives on any
surfaces. Vinegar and water solution may be used.
To Remove/Replace the Storage Drawer:

CLEANING THE CONTOURED WELL AREAS,
BURNER CAPS, AND BURNER HEADS
The contoured well areas, burner caps and burner
heads should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner
ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame.
To clean the recessed and contoured areas of the cook-top:
• 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.
To remove and replace the surface burner caps and
surface burner heads, remove in the following order:
1) Surface burner grates
2) Surface burner caps, and
3) Surface burner heads
• Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface
burner caps and surface burner heads.
•Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive
cleanser to clean the surface burner caps and surface
burner heads. The ports or slots around the burner head
must be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in
these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
the slots or holes.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
Always keep the surface burner cap and surface burner
head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
THE COOK-TOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LIFT THE COOK-TOP.

up right away. When the surface has cooled, clean with
soft cloth and warm soapy water; rinse well.
• You may also use a solution of vinegar and water to
clean the oven surface. Use vinegar to remove hard
stains (white stains).
