BROILING COMPARTMENT GUIDE SUGGESTIONS (cont’d)
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Proper care and cleaning are important so that your range will give you ef
fi
cient and satisfactory service. Follow
these directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
WARNING
•
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-
tip device is re-engaged 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 that the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE
LIFT-UP COOKTOP (on models with standard twin burners)
•
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on
fi
re.
•
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
• NOTE:
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
To raise the cooktop:
1. Be sure the burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.
•
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. If you removed your
surface burners while cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when replacing
them.
•
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not to pinch your
fi
ngers).
Some models have dual
support rods that will hold
the cooktop up while you
clean underneath it.
