Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE RANGE.
Control Panel and Knobs
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the range. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs on the left side and the
knobs on the right side are in the proper OFF position.
When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to
insure proper alignment.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm,
soapy water or Bon Ami@ brand cleanser. Rinse
and immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth.
Take care to dry the surface following the "grain."
To help prevent finger marks after cleaning,
spread a thin film of baby oil on the surface or
a chrome protestant may be used to help reduce
spotting or fingerprinting. Wipe away excess oil
with a clean, soft cloth.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate
around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.

Slip a thin cloth (such as a handkerchie~ or a piece of
string under and around the knob edge and pull up.
The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove
on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is
clear (see illustration). Check the inside of the knob
and find the molded rib.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the
knob into the clear groove on the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or vinegar and hot
water solution but do not soak.

Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening under the
right rear surface unit. Never cover the opening with
aluminum foil or any other material. This would
prevent the oven vent from working properly.
