Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do
not use any sharp items to remove the
film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging
tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and
allow to soak.
NOTE:
The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
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.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the
OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the
OFF
position
to ensure proper placement.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located above the left side of
the door.
This area could become hot during
oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.
The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.
