AT THE END OF THE CLEAN CYCLE
The Clean cycle takes 5 hours to complete.
The DOOR-LOCK light turns off once the cycle
has finished.
1. The door latch will open automatically after
the oven temperature falls below 550°F and the
automatic Door Lock completes its 60 sec, cycle
to the OPEN position.
2. Turn the Oven Control Knob to OFF. Wipe off
white ash residue with a damp cloth or sponge
before placing oven racks.
3. Replace the oven racks.
CAUTION: The interior of the oven will still be at
baking temperature when the lock light turns off
and the oven door can be opened. Use caution as
the oven may be hot enough to cause burns.
All stainless steel parts of the appliance can be
cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and
buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Make
sure you clean in the DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN
and never in circular motions as this may scratch
the stainless steel.
WARNING: Be careful cleaning any part of this
appliance while hot.
When cleaning this range or range-top:
1. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first. Some brands of cleaners of the same type
are harsher than others, read their directions. A
scent or a propellant can make a difference in
the product. Read the ingredients. Try on a small
area first.
2. To avoid marring the surface always rub metal
finishes in the direction of the polish (grain)
lines. The cleaner will be more effective when
used in the direction of the polish lines.
3. Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels,
for cleaning or scouring (Use only soap pads
with soap still in them. An empty pad can
scratch), as recommended in this section.

4. Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe
dry to avoid water marks.
NOTE: BRAND NAMES - In this section on cleaning,
the use of name brands is intended only to indicate a
type of cleaner. This is not constitute an endorsement.
The omission of any name brand cleaner does not
imply its adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are
regional in distribution and can be found in the local
markets and department stores.
RANGETOP
Turn off all the burners and allow the grates to cool
before starring to clean the rangetop. If you wipe
off any part of the rangetop while it is hot do so
carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result
in steam burns.
BURNER GRATES
When lifting the grates, be careful as they are heavy.
Place them on a protected surface, so they won't
scratch the surface they are laid on.
The burner grates are matte porcelain enamel
over cast iron. When cool they may be placed in
the dishwasher, or wipe while on the rangetop
using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry.
The burner grates will not rust as they are matte
porcelain enamel on both sides for durability.
The occasional use of mild abrasive cleaners such
as Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub®. Abrasive cleansers,
used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm
the enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
The porcelain may pop off the edge of the grates
due to rapid temperature change when the burners
are turned on, Do not be concerned as this does not
result in the deterioration of the grates. The cast iron
soon darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Be
careful when wiping an area where the porcelain has
popped off, as the edges may be sharp.
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the
burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners
if they do not light even through the igniter clicks, if
there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame
does not burn blue.
Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF position
before attempting to clean the burners. The burners
have been designed for ease in cleaning. When
the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate.
The Burner Cap and the Flame Ring can easily be
lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly. The Burner Caps are porcelain
enamel, follow the directions on the previous page
that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush
can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports,
if necessary. Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not
recommended, however, it may become necessary
to do so if the ports remain clogged after normal
cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the
Simmer Ring from the Base, remove the Hex Nut
1. Burner Cap
2. Flame Ring
3. Beauty Ring
4. Burner Base
5. Igniter
6. Venturi
at the top of the Simmer Ring. Clean the Simmer
Ring with hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic
bristle brush then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the
parts using the Hex Nut.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the
