Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
WARNING:
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.
Drip Pans
(if so equipped)
Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.
Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or by hand.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure
they are in the correct position.
Place them in a covered container. Add
1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours
or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the drip
pans in a self-cleaning oven.

Burner Grates
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.
On models with professional-style double
grates, the 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.”
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.
