Rawe TopBurners
The holes inthe burners must be
kept clean at all times for proper
ignitionand an even, unhampered
flame.
Clean the burners routinelyand
especially afier bad spillovers
which could clog these holes.
Burners lift out for cleaning.

Note: Two screws hold each burner
pair in place to keep them from
wobblingaround during shipment.
Removeand discard the shipping
screws and lift the burners up and
out. This disengages them from the
mounting bracket under each
burner pair.
To remove burned-on food, soak
the burner in a solution of a product
used for cleaning the inside of
coffee makers, Soak the burner for
20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn't
rinse off completely, scrub it with
soap and water or a mild abrasive
cleanser and a damp cloth.
Do not attempt to clean burners in
an automatic dishwasher. Loosened
food soil can clog burner holes,
and the caustic action of the
dishwasher detergent can damage
the burner heads.
Before putting the burner back, dry
it thoroughly by setting it in a warm
oven for 30 minutes. Then place it
back in the range, making sure it is
properly seated on the mounting
~racket and is level.
Removethe grates and lift out the
chrome drip pans. Washthem in
hot, soapy water. Rinse them with
clean, hot water and polish them
dry with a cloth. Never use abrasive
cleaner or steel wool—they'll
scratch the surface. Instead, soak
the drip pans for about 20 minutes
in slightlydiluted liquid cleanser or
mild solution of ammonia and water
(1/2cup of ammonia to one gallon
of water). After soaking, wash them
in hot, soapy water. Rinse with
clean water and polish with a clean,
SOfi
cloth.
Do not attempt to clean the drip
pans in the self-cleaning oven.
When replacing
drip pans, the
notch on the rear
pan and the notch
on the front pan
should meet in
the middle.
Lift-up Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop
ofien. Built-upsoil, especially
~rease,may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the entire
cooktopmaybe lifted up and
supported by lockingarms that
catch and hold the top when it'sall
the way up.
Be
stlre
all
burners
are turned off
before raising the cooktop. Then
removethe grates and drip pans,
grasp the front sides of the cooktop
and lift.
After cleaning under the cooktop
with hot, mild soapy water and a
clean cloth, put the cooktop back in
place. Lift up a little to release the
locking arms and push them in
while guiding the top back down.
Be careful not to pinch your
fingers.
Broiler mm& Rack
Afier broiling, removethe broiler
rack and carefully pour off the
grease. Wash and rinse the pan and
rack in hot, soapywater.
If food has burned on, sprin~e the
broi~errack while hot with
detergent and cover with wet paper
towelsor a dish cloth. Burned-on
foods will then soak loose while the
meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and
rack in the oven. Never attempt to
clean them in the oven during the
self-cleaning cycle.
