General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more
detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the
range.
Important: Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned
off and the range is cool. The
range may be hot and can
cause burns. It is recom-
mended to not use ammonia
to clean the oven. However, if
ammonia is used, the oven
must be thoroughly rinsed
before operating. Provide
adequate ventilation.
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum
Utensils, and Oven Liners
WARNING! Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use
a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be
hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the
ceramic-glass surface.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials
to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of
materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circu-
lation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock
or fire.
•
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface burners under any circumstances.
•
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. If aluminum pans
are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the
utensil will be damaged or destroyed.
•
Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks. During self clean the oven temperature can
become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils
or aluminum foil and could result in permanent damage
to the oven interior and porcelain finish.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Glass Cooktop
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns do not attempt any of the
cleaning instructions provided below before turning off all
surface burners and allow them to cool.
Your cooktop is glass with gas sealed burners. To clean the
glass portion of the cooktop follow these directions.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the
glass part of the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean
the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is
cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the
towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the
soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose. If
soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade
scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface
(Figure 26). Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff surface clean.
