Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
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.
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door,
open it to the broil stop
position. Grasp firmly on each side and
lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
To replace the door,
make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.
To clean the inside of the door:
■
Soap and water will normally do the
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may
also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
■
If necessary, you may use an oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.
■
Clean the inside of the oven window
with a mild non-scratching cleaner and
a damp cloth.
To clean the outside of the door:
■
Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven door. Rinse well. You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on
the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.
■
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up
immediately. When surface is cool,
clean and rinse.
■
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
Removable Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is a good place to store
cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics
and flammable material in the drawer.
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the
drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the
track when opened.
To open the drawer, grasp the center of
the handle and pull straight out.
To remove:
Pull the drawer straight out
and lift over the guide stops.
To replace:
Lift over the guide stops and
slide the drawer into place.
To clean both the inside and the outside: Wipe
with soap and water. Rinse well. Do not use
cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which
may scratch the surface.
The storage drawer may be
removed for cleaning under the
range.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(electric coil models only)
Some models have a cooktop that can be
lifted up for easier cleaning.
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
Remove the surface units. Grasp the
cooktop and lift up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with
hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth,
lower the cooktop. Be careful not to
pinch your fingers.
Porcelain enamel can chip. Handle porcelain
enameled cooktops carefully.
Be sure all surface units are turned
off before raising the cooktop.
