General Cleaning
(continued)
To Raise the Top for Cleaning (some models)
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. A lift-up rod will support the top in its raised position.
Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place under the front of the
cooktop.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top down into the
range frame.
A rod swings u p to support the
topfor cleaning underneath.
When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch
fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could damage the
surface.
Cleaning the Regular Oven (non self-clean
oven, some models)
Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are et OFF position. Cleaning the oven is a lot easier when the door is
removed.
1. Remove the oven door; see under To Remove and Replace the Oven Door in this Owner's
Guide.
2. Empty the oven including the racks.
3. You can wash the broiler pan, grid and racks in the kitchen sink.
4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.
To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled parts with household ammonia, using a
wet cloth. Follow suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not remove the oven door
when using ammonia.)
Complete cleaning with a damp cloth and use a fine steel wool scouring agent if necessary.
The lower element can be moved up for cleaning purposes.
5. Replace racks in the oven. Reinstall oven door.
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean
the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.
