Burners

The holes in the surface burners of your range
must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition
and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these holes. Wipe off the
surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs,
remove the surface burners from the
range. The burners lift out for cleaning.
Lift up the cooktop and then lift out the
surface burners.
NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place
to keep them from wobbling around during
shipment. Remove and discard the shipping screw.

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 well.
Oven Shelves and Broiler Rack
The shelves and broiler rack can be
cleaned by hand using soap and water or
with an abrasive cleaner. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves and broiler rack with
clean water and dry.

Metal Parts

Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia
or commercial oven cleaners.
To safely clean surfaces: wash, rinse and
then dry with a soft cloth.
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
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 small
pin or sewing needle.
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.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
To remove the knob, pull it straight off
the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and
water or a vinegar and hot water
solution but do not soak.
To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you
may use scouring pads. After scrubbing,
wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
