SELF-CLEAN MODE/CARE AND MAINTENANCE
AT THE END OF THE CLEAN
CYCLE:
The
Clean cycle
takes
5
hours to
complete.
The DOOR-LOCK light
turns off once
the
cycle
has
finished.
1. The door latch will open automatically after
the oven temperature
falls
below 550°F
and the
automatic Door Lock completes its 60
sec,
cycle
to the OPEN position.
UTION:
The
interior of the oven will still
be
at
king temperature when the lock light turns off
d the oven door can be opened. Use caution as
e oven may be
hot
enough
to
cause
burns.
2.
Turn
the Oven Control
Knob
to
OFF. Open
the
oven
door
and
wait
for the
oven to cool to
room
temperature.
Wipe off white
ash
residue with
a
damp cloth
or
sponge
before placing
oven
racks.
3.
Replace
the oven
racks.
All
stainless steel parts of the
appliance can
be
cleaned with hot soapy water,
rinsed,
dried and
buffed to a shine with a
soft,
heavy
pile
cloth.
Make
sure you clean in the DIRECTION
OF
THE
GRAIN
and never in circular motions as this may scratch
the stainless steel.
f'WARNING:
Be
careful cleaning any
part
of this
I
~ppliance
while hot.
----------------~
When
cleaning this range or range-top:
1. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first. Some brands of cleaners of the
same type
are harsher
than
others, read
their
directions. A
scent or a propellant
can
make a
difference in
the
product. Read
the
ingredients.
Try on
a
small
area first.
2.
To
avoid
marring the
surface
always
rub
metal
finishes
in
the
direction
of
the polish
(grain)
lines. The cleaner
will
be more effective
when
used in
the
direction of the polish
lines.
3. Use only clean sponges, soft cloths,
paper towels,
for cleaning or scouring
(Use
only
soap pads
with
soap still in them.
An
empty
pad
can
scratch), as recommended in
this section.
4. Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe
dry to avoid
water
marks.
NOTE:
BRAND
NAMES
-
In
this
section
on
cleaning,
the use of name brands
is
intended
only
to
indicate a
type
of cleaner. This does
not constitute
an
endorsement.
The
omission of any name brand cleaner does not
imply
its adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are
regional in distribution and can be found in
the
local
markets and
department
stores.
RANGETOP
Turn
off all
the burners
and allcm
the grates
to
cool
before
starting to clean the
rangetop. Do not clean hot surfaces.
This could
bum
you.
Clean only when the range
or
range
top has cooled
down
to room
temperature.
BURNER GRATES
When lifting the grates, be careful
as
they
are
heavy.
Place them on a protected surface, so
they won't
scratch
the
surface
they
are laid on.
The
burner grates are matte porcelain enameled
over cast iron. When cool they may be placed in
the dishwasher, or wipe while on the rangetop
using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry.
The burner grates will not rust as they are matte
porcelain enamel on both sides for durability.
The occasional use of mild abrasive cleaners such
as Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub®. Abrasive cleansers,
used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm
the enamel.
Apply with
a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
The
porcelain may pop off
the
edge of
the grates
due to
rapid
temperature
change
when
the
burners
are
turned
on,
Do
not be
concerned
as
this
does not
result
in
the
deterioration
of the grates. The cast iron
soon darkens
to blend
with
the
porcelain
enamel.
Be
careful
when
wiping an area where
the
porcelain
has
popped off,
as
the
edges
may
be
sharp.
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the
burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners
if they do not light even through the igniter clicks, if
there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame
does not burn blue.
Be
certain all burner knobs are in
the
OFF position
before attempting to
clean the burners. The burners
have been designed for ease in cleaning.

the grates and burners are

remove the grate.
The
Burner
Cap and the retention and spillage Ring
can easily be lifted off.
Wash
these parts in hot soapy
water,
rinse and dry thoroughly. The Burner Caps are
porcelain enamel, follow the directions on the previous
page
that were
given for the burner grates.
A bristle
brush can be used to clean out the burner ports, if
necessary.
After
cleaning,
it
is
important
to make sure
the
Locating
Notch at the bottom of
the
retention
ring
is properly aligned
with
the
corresponding Mark
in
the
Base
and
that the Locating
Pins
in
the Cap are
engaged in the holes in the Ring. Incorrect alignment
will produce
a potentially dangerous flame and
poor burner performance.
