DAILY CARE:
After the rangetop has cooled, remove grease and moisture
deposits before using the rangetop again. This will help to
prevent soil build-up. Wipe rangetop with a sponge or cloth
dampened with soap and water. Rinse and dry.
To clean the burner grates and burner caps, remove by lift-
ing off. Wash with mild detergent or cleanser such as Soft
Scrub@ (original, non-bleach formula) and nonabrasive plas-
tic scouring pad such as a Tuv plastic mesh ball or
with soft cloth before replacing.
Avoid abrasive cleansers and abrasive pads such as
the cleaning pressure applied in use.
To prevent the possibil*&y of stains (especially caused

marinades and sauces with tomatoes) immediately wipe up
spills with a
cloth. Acids can stain even the most stain-
dry
resistant materials and finishes if left on a heated surface.
When the surface is cool, wash thoroughly with warm soapy
water.
Always clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the
burner caps clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame.
Wipe the burner grates and caps following each use with
warm soapy water to remove spillover deposits and grease
splatters before they get a chance to harden on the surface.
This will help prevent more "involved" cleaning later on. If
that should become necessary, follow these instructions.
Burned-on soil can be cleaned off by soaking the burner
caps in warm soapy water and a dishwashing liquid
such as "Dove" or "Lux." A dishcloth or non-abrasive
pad such as a Dobie@ cleaning pad can be used to rub
the burner caps after soaking. If stains still remain:
Immerse the burner caps in a hot solution of 2 table-
spoons of "Dip It" per quart of boiling water Soak for 20
minutes (be sure the liquid covers the caps.) Remove
burner caps, cool slightly and rinse thoroughly with cold
water. Be sure solution is completely rinsed off both
sides of the burner caps. Dry thoroughly with soft cloth.
Be sure the burner caps are

Gas must flow freely through the ignitor slot for the
burner to light properly This area must be free of any

soil and be kept protected from boil-avers and spill-
overs. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in place whenever
a surface burner is in use.
3. To replace the burner caps, position them centrally over
the burner body Make sure that the locating pegs fit into
the recess in the underside of the caps. The caps must
be correctly seated on the burner body for proper opera-
tion of the burner. (See Figure 2.)
The bottom areas of the burner grates (and caps) are not
covered by porcelain enamel and therefore should be dried
thoroughly to prevent rusting. Also, due to the glass-like
nature of enamel, there may sometimes be chipping at the
prong area; however, this does not affect the performance
of the range.
To clean the control knobs, gently pull them straight off.
Wash the face of the knobs using a soft cloth dampened
with mild detergent. For tougher soils, use a soft toothbrush.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads as these
can cause scratching. For greasy spatters, use a grease-
dissolving cleaner such as Dawn@ Dishwashing Detergent.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly before replacing knobs.
For care and cleaning instructions of control panel and other
range parts, see page 20.
Remember:
Do not use harsh
commercial chemical-type oven cleaners on the
interior or exterior of the range.
