service.Follow these directions
carefully i~~ caring for it to help
assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER
IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF
YOUR RANGE.
Burner
Grates
Grates should be washed regularly
and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water. Dry the
grates with a cloth-don't put
them back on the range wet. When
replacing the grates, be sure
they're positioned securely over
the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, soak
the grates in a slightly diluted
liquid detergent.
Although they're durable, the
grates will gradually lose their
shine, regardless of the best care
you can give t~lem.This is due to
their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
DR-ip
Pans
(On models so equipped)
~<emovethe grates. Tflen Iift out
the porcelain drip pans. Drip pans
can be cleaned in dishwasher or by
hand-—afterpans cool slightly,
sprinkle on detergent, wash or
scour with hot water, rinse and dry.
.Range
TQ~3 Burners
The holes in the burners of your
range must be kept clean at all
times for proper ignition and an
even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burners
routineiy,especially after bad
spillovers, which could clog these
holes. Burners lift right out for
cleaning.
The burnerscan be takenout of the
rangefor easiercleaning.If shipping
screwis in place,removeand discard
it, Burnerc~nbe liftedstraightup
and removed.
To remove burned-on food, soak the
burner in a solution of mild liquid
detergentand water. Soak the burner
for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food
doesn'trinse off completely,scrub it
with soap and water and a brush or
plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or
abrasive cleaners because they will
clog the burner openings and
scratch the burners. If the holes
become clogged, clean them with
a toothpick.
Before putting the burner back,
shake out excess water and 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 and level.
I
Lift-up
Cooktop
There are a number of precautions
you can take to avoid marring the
porcelain enamel surface of the
cooktop and to prevent it from
becoming dull. Don't slide heavy
pans across it. If you spill foods
with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or
foods with high sugar content,
clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowed to set, these foods could
cause a dull spot. Also, no matter
how stubborn the food stain, never
use harsh abrasive cleansers. They
could permanently damage the
enamel surface. We recommend
a cleanser such as Soft Scrub@
brand cleanserx or a similar
cleaning product.
Clean the area under the cooktop
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire.
To make cleaning easier, the
cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the Cooktop:
1. Be sure burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells
and lift-up.
Dual support rods will hold the
cooktop up while you clean
underneath it.
After cleaning under the cooktop
with hot, soapy water and a clea]~
cloth, lower the cooktop. Be
careful not to pincil yo~lrfingers.
