Careand cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
If your range is removed for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be sure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged properly
when the range is replaced. Failure
to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and cause injury.
Oven Interior (non-self c leanmodels)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on tile inside of the oven-top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the door--
will stay new-looking for years.
Let tile range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the range.

cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
