7 MAINTENANCE

 BURN, FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Failure to obey the
following warnings could result in damage, a burn hazard, possible explosion, carbon monoxide buildup,
serious injury, or death:
• Keep range or slide-in top area clear of combustible cleaning materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Leak testing shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Make sure all controls are OFF and the range or slide-in surfaces, burner grates, burners, and oven surfaces
are cool before cleaning or disassembling the range or slide-in.
• Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers on the range or slide-in top or burner grates.
• Clean oven with oven cleaner only. Follow directions on the cleaning product container.
• Never use a wire brush or metallic item for cleaning burner ports or orifices. Brush may "shed" bristles, that
may lodge in the orifice or burner ports and cause a fire or explosion.
BURN AND/OR DAMAGE HAZARD. Failure to obey the following cautions could result in dam-
age or injury:
• Clean all surfaces as soon as possible after boil overs or spillovers. Do not allow foods containing acids
(such as lemon juice, tomato juice, or vinegar) to remain on porcelain or painted surfaces. Acids may remove
the glossy finish. Pitting and discoloration will result if spills are allowed to remain for any length of time on
stainless steel. Do not allow spills to remain on burner caps. Caps could be permanently stained if spills are
not cleaned up promptly.
• Do not use steel wool, or abrasive cleaners, or acid type cleaners such as chlorine bleach on your range top,
slide-in, or grate systems. They will damage your range or slide-in. Use only non-abrasive plastic scrubbing
pads.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials, oven cleaner, or harsh chemicals on the control panel as these may
damage or remove the operating instructions printed on the front of the unit.
• The grate and surface of the cook top is covered with porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass/ceramic coating
glazed to the surface of the metal. Porcelain is designed to provide a surface that can withstand high
temperatures and maintain an attractive appearance and make it easier to clean. Do not wash warm porcelain
surfaces. Allow these areas to cool before cleaning. Burns can occur or the porcelain could crack.
• When cleaning around the burners, use care to prevent damage to the electrode (if so equipped). If a sponge
or cloth should catch the metal igniter electrode, it could damage or break the electrode. If this occurs, the
burner will not light.
• Use warm soapy water only to clean the burner grates, burner box, painted surfaces, porcelain surfaces,
stainless steel surfaces, and plastic items on your range top or slide-in. Do not use gritty or acid-type cleaners.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage your range top or slide-in. Use only non-
abrasive plastic scrubbing pads.

Proper installation and care will help keep your range or slide-in operating properly. Most cleaning can be
performed using normal household items.
