CARE AND CLEANING
Your range is designed
so you can care for it easily.
You can do most cleaning
with items
found around your home.
Cleaning
your range whenever
spills or soiling occurs will help to
keep it looking like new.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are off and the range is cool before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in death, electrical shock, or burns.
Cleaning porcelain oven
Porcelain
has a smooth finish, and is a type of glass fused to metal.
With proper care, the
porcelain
enamel walls in this oven will retain a good looking finish for many years.
Food soil that is allowed to harden and bake on can be difficult to remove.
Clean the oven before it is entirely
cool (not while it is hot) with detergent
and water - using a
soap-filled
steel wool pad on burned spots. Rinse and wipe dry.
Commercial
oven cleaners
may be used on conventional
porcelain
lined ovens. Do not spray
any oven cleaners
on the electrical
elements,
controls,
or switches
because
it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking
or fire. Do not let commercial
oven cleaners
contact the heat seals or exterior
surfaces
of the range. This will cause damage.
Follow
instructions carefully. After using cleaners, thoroughly rinse the oven with a solution of one
tablespoon
vinegar to one cup water. Oven cleaners
can coat or damage
the thermostat
-sensing
device (long tube in oven) so that it will not sense temperature
correctly.
If you are
using a commercial
oven cleaner, try to avoid any contact
with the rod-shaped
bulb of the
thermostat.
Be sure that any residue that touches
the bulb is carefully
removed.
Oven racks are removed
by pulling forward,
tilting and lifting up. Racks may be washed
with
detergent
and water. Scour heavily soiled areas with a soap-filled
steel wool pad.
Oven and surface heating elements
Both the oven and the surface
heating elements
clean themselves
when they are turned on.
Food spilled on a hot element
will burn off. Do not immerse
the surface elements
in water.
TO REMOVE
SURFACE
ELEMENTS:
Surface
elements can be removed to make
cleaning easier. To avoid the possibility
of
a burn or electric
shock, always be
certain that the controls
for all surface
units are at the "OFF"
position
and all
coils are cool before attempting
to lift or
remove
a surface
unit. To remove,
lift up
edge of element
opposite
terminal
and pull
out to clear the reflector
pans.
