Caring For Your Range
Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard
Solid element surface units do
not glow red when hot. Make sure
all controls are OFF and the range
is COOL before cleaning. Failure
to do so can result in burns or
electrical shock.
Control panel and knobs
1. Pull control knobs and command
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 command
buttons in warm soapy water. Rinse
well and dry. Do not soak.
4. Push control knobs and command
buttons straight back on. Make sure
control knobs point to OFF. Make
sure buttons have not turned oven
ON. If oven has been turned on,
push Oven Off button.
Solid element surface units
1. For best results, wipe off surface
w
units with a damp sofl 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 Electrola dressing
can be applied to the surface units to
improve their appearance.
