When the range is cool, wash the
top, front and, if exposed, the sides
with tid soap and water.Never use
any harsh abrasives or cleaning
powdersthat may scratch or mar the
painted surface. Rinse the surface
with clean water and dry with a soft
cloth. If you wish, occasionally
apply a thin coat of mild cleaning
wax to help protect the finish.
There are a number of precautions
you can take to avoidmarring the
porcelain enamel surface of the
cooktop and prevent it from
becoming dull. Don't slide heavy
pans across it. If you spill foods
with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or
foods with high sugar content,
clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowed to set, these foods could
callse a dull spot. Also, no matter
how stubborn the food stain, never
use harsh abrasive cleansers. They
could permanently damage tl~e
enamel surface. We recommend a
cleanser such as "Soft Scrub""
brand cleanser or a similar
cleaniI}gproduct.

Control Wnel
It'sa
good idea to wipe the control
panel clean after each use of the
oven.For a more thoroughcleaning,
the knobs can be removedby
pulling them off the knob sterns.
Clean with mild soap and water,
rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a sofi cloth.
Do not use abrasivecleansers,
strong liquid cleaners or oven
cleaners on the control panel—
they will damage the finish.
Burner
Gmtes
Grates should be washed regularly
and, of course, afier spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water. Dry the
grates with a cloth—don'tput them
back on the range wet. When
replacing the grates, be sure they're
positionedsecurelyover the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, soak
the grates in a slightly diluted
liquid cleaner.
Although they're durable, the
grates will gradually lose their
shine, regardless of the best care
you can give them. This is due to
their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
