Cleaning and Maintenance
Burner Base
The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period.
DO NOT
use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material,
then use a wooden nylon spatula.
DO NOT
use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.
• Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives.
They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use
hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your oven.
Your oven features a self-clean cycle for the oven interior. See the “Self-Clean Cycle” section for complete instructions.
NEVER
USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE
POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off.
Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid
cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job.
DO NOT
use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or
powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material,
then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
DO NOT
use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless
steel.
DO NOT
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless
steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
DO NOT
CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain
damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power
failure. Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position. Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is
affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function properly without any adjustments.
A “brown-out” may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the range is in the self-
clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls
off and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.
WARNING
POWER FAILURE WARNING
Due to safety considerations
and the possibility of personal injury in
attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, not under
any circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner
control should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.
