Care and cleaning of the range.

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 your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.

Oven Shelves 

Clean the shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. 

After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Surface Units and Drip Pans

To clean the surface units, turn the
control to the highest setting for a
minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, 
the surface units must be removed first.
Make sure the surface units are cool
before touching them.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above 
the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If
you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when
you plug it back in.

NOTE:

Repeated lifting of the surface unit

more than 1 inch above the drip pan can
permanently damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

Replace the drip pan into the recess in
the cooktop. Make sure the opening in
the pan lines up with the receptacle.

Insert the terminals of the surface unit
through the opening in the drip pan and
into the receptacle.

Guide the surface unit into place so it 
rests evenly.

To clean the drip pans:

Drip pans can be cleaned in the
dishwasher or by hand. If you use a
scouring pad, rub lightly to prevent
scratching.

Can I cover the drip pans with foil?

No, because using foil so close to
the receptacle could cause shock,
fire or damage to the range.

CAUTION:

Do not immerse the surface units in
liquids of any kind.

Do not clean the surface units in a
dishwasher.

Do not bend the surface unit plug
terminals.

Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in
any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

To remove the surface unit, lift it
about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.

Replace the drip pan into the
recess in the cooktop.

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.

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.
