Maintaining your appliance
Care and cleaning of the oven
WARNING
•
Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any part
of the range.
•
If your range is moved for cleaning, servicing, or any
reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged properly
when the range is replaced. If you fail to re-engage the
Anti-Tip device, the range could tip and cause serious
injury.
Control panel
First, lock the control panel and the door to prevent accidental operations and/or
product tipping.
WARNING
•
Make sure the control panel turns off and all surfaces of the range are cool
before cleaning. Otherwise, you can get burned.
•
If the range has been moved away from the wall, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is reinstalled properly when the range has been put into place again. Otherwise,
the range may tip over, causing physical injuries.
•
Do not use steel-wool or abrasive cleansers of any kind. These can scratch or
damage the surface.
Vent
Vent
Vent
•
The cooling vents are located at the back
of the oven range.
•
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.
After a steam-cleaning cycle
•
Take care when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has ended.
The water on the bottom is hot.
•
Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not
leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal.
•
Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the
oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove
lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
•
If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has
cooled.
•
For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend
that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning
function.
•
After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior
enamel surface to dry thoroughly.
