Caring For Your Range
Solid element surface units do
not glow red when hot. To avoid
burns and possible
electric
shocks, make sure all controls
are OFF and the surface units
are COOL before cleaning.
Control panel and knobs
1. Pull control knobs and buttons
straight off
2. Use warm soapy water and a soft
cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to wipe
the control panel. Rinse and wipe dry.
3. Wash control knobs and buttons in
warm soapy water. Rinse well and
dry. Do not soak.
4. Push control knobs and buttons
straight back on. Make sure control
knobs point to OFF
Solid element surface units
1. For best results, wipe off surface
units with a damp soft cloth and
soapy water after each use. Burned-
on food may be removed with a
soapy scouring pad. The red spot in
the center of the surface unit will
gradually wash off. This is normal
and will not affect the operation of
the surface unit.
2. IMPORTANT:
After cleaning, apply
a thin coat of salt-free oil to the
COOL surface units, then heat 3-5
minutes. It may still smoke slightly
when heated. If surface units have
dark spots caused by grease and
food, the oil treatment will improve
their appearance
but not eliminate
the spots.
NOTE: Optional Electrol dressing
can be applied to the surface units
to improve their appearance.
