CARE AND CLEANING
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
sate and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS
DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF YOUR RANGE.
I CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS
(IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.
Standard Twin Burners (on some models)
[_J'___ G rate
ip pan
(on some models)
Surface burner
On models with standard twin burners, the
cooktop lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner
parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped)
can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface
burners of your range
must be kept clean at all " "
times for proper ignition
and an even,
unhampered flame.
Clean
7"these holes
thoroughly
on each
burner.
You should clean the surface burners routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these holes. Wipe off surface burners. If heavy
spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from
the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water.
Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For
more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub ®
brand or Bon Ami* brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it
will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean
them with a sewing needle or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in
a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames
are "jumpy" (not steady), clean the holes again with a
sewing needle or twist-tie.
Drip Pans
(on some models)
Remove the grates and lift
out the drip pans. Drip
pans can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
When replacing the drip pans,
make sure they are in the correct position.
To get rid of burned-on food, place them in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip
pans in a self-cleaning oven.
