CLEANING THE RANGE (continued)
Moisture
During the initial heat-up of your range, the heat mixing with the cooler air in the oven
cavity may produce fogging of the door glass or a collection of water on the door. To
prevent this, open the oven door for the fi rst few seconds of initial oven heat-up. This will
allow the moist air within the oven to escape, without the forming of visible moisture on
the range. The amount of moisture will depend upon the humidity of the air and water
content of the food being cooked. Fogging and even dripping water will usually occur in
geographic locations of high humidity.
Burners and Cast-Iron Grates
•
These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.
•
After cleaning, the burners and their fl ame distributors must be well dried and
correctly replaced.
•
It is very important to check that the burner fl ame distributor and the cap has been
correctly positioned - failure to do so can cause serious problems.
•
In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so that the sparks
always strike.
Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the
burners are not in place.
Correct Replacement of the Burners
It is very important to check that the burner fl ame
spreader “F” and the cap “C” have been correctly
positioned. Failure to do so can cause serious problems.
In appliances with battery electric ignition, check that
the electrode “S” is always clean to ensure trouble-free
sparking.
The ignitor must be cleaned very carefully.
