Drip Pans
(on some models )
lift out
the drip
pans.
If;"--
_'_
The
drip pans
can
be
cleaned
in dishwasher
or by hand. To get rid of
burned-on
food,
place
the drip pans in a cov-
ered container
(or plastic
bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia
to loosen the soil.. Then scrub with a soap-filled
scour-
ing pad if necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not clean
the drip pans
in the self-
cleaning
oven
Burner Grates
Lift out
when
cool..
The grates should be
washed
regularly
and, of course,
after
spillovers..
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water.
After cleaning,
dry them thoroughly
by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
Do
not put the grates back on the range while
they are
wet. When replacing
the grates,
be sure they're posi-
tioned
securely
over the burners.
To prevent
rusting
on cast iron grates,
apply a light
coating
of cooking
oil on the bottom of the grates.
To get rid of burned-on
food,
place the grates
in a
covered
container
(or
plastic
bag)
with
!/4
cup
ammonia
to loosen
the soil. Then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring
pad if necessary_
Although
they're durable,
the grates will gradually
lose
their shine,
regardless
of the best care you can give
them. 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.
CAUTION:
Do not clean
the drip pans
in the self-
cleaning
oven,
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging
the porcelain
enamel
surface
of the cooktop
and to prevent
it from
becoming
dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of
acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut,
fruit juices,
etc.) or foods
with
high sugar
content
could
cause
a dull spot if
allowed
to sit.. When
the surface
has cooled,
wash
and rinse
For other spills such as fat spattedngs,
etc. wash with
soap and water
once the surface
has cooled.
Then
rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not store flammable
materials
in an oven or
near the cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible
materials,
gasoline
or other flammable
vapors and
liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance°
Control Panel and Knobs
it's
a good
idea to wipe
the control
panel
after
each
use of the oven.
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
cleaners,
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 wetlo
The
control
knobs
may
be removed
for
easier
cleaning.
To remove
the knob, pull it straight
off the
stem.
If knob is difficult
to remove,
place
a towel or
dishcloth
between
the knob and control panel and pull
gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water, or vinegar
solution,
but do not soak.
Metal parts can be cleaned
with soap and water
Do
not
use steel
wool,
abrasives,
ammonia,
acids
or
commercial
oven cleaners.
Dry with a soft cloth°
Oven Air Vents
Never
block
the
vents
(air
openings)
of the
range. They provide
the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary
for the range to operate
properly
with
correct combustion.
Air openings
are located at the
rear of the cooktop,
at the top and bottom
of the
oven door, and at the bottom
of the range,
under
the kick panel,
storage
drawer
or broiler
drawer
(depending
on the model)°
