Care and Cleaning (continued)
Solid Disk Elements
The solid disk elements
are made
of high strength cast-iron
alloy, The
trim rings are stainless
steel_,
The surface has a heat-resistant
coating to pieserve
the surface of
the element.
After the unit cools,
any boiled-over
material
on the
element should be removed as soon
as possible with a slightly damp
cloth,, The element should then be
dried by switching
on for a few
minutes,, After it cools, wipe lightly
with cooking oil
Clean very dirty solid disk
elements with a little cleaning
powder (such as Comet ® cleanser)
or with a scouting
pad.
The matte black surface can be
maintained by treating it peiiodically
with the Collo Electrol ® polish
packed with your range° Use the
applicator
to apply a very thin
coating of polish to the entire
element surface.
Turn the element
on high for several minutes to bake
the polish to the element° When the
element is cooled,
rub lightly with
a cloth or paper towel to remove
any excess polish. Before next use,
burn off the element by means of a
short preheating
period,, A slight
amount of smoke and odor will occur'.
Cooking and pre-delivery
factory
testing will permanently
change the
stainless steel trim ring to a gold
color. This normal characteristic
of
stainless steel will not affect the
operation
or performance
of your
elements.
The stainless
steel trim
ring can be cleaned with a good
quality stainless steel cleaner. This
will also restore the trim ring to its
original color, until it is reheated,
Failure to maintain the solid disk
elements as directed will result in
defacing the surface over a period
of time primarily
due to corrosion
as the elements are made of cast
iron construction,
Do not use covers over the solid
disk elements.
An element turned
on while the cover is in place can
permanently
damage the cooNop.
Covers can also trap moisture which
may cause the elements to rust.
Cleaning Under the Range
The area under the range can be
reached easily for cleaning
by
removing the bottom drawer. To
remove, pull drawer out all the way,
tilt up the front and remove it. To
replace, insert glides at back of
drawer beyond stop on range glides,
Lift drawer if necessary to insert
easily° Let front of drawer' down,
then push in to dose.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed
for cleaning.
To remove knob, pull it straight
off the stem, If knob is difficult to
remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief)
or a piece of string
under and around the knob edge
and pull up.
Wash knobs in soap and water' but
do not soak.
Molded Rib
Clear
Groove
To replace knob, locate the groove
in each side of the knob stem_ One
of the grooves contains a spring clip
and the other groove is clear. Locate
the molded rib inside the knob. Fit
the molded rib of the knob into the
clear groove on the knob stem°
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible
during replacement of the lamp bulb.
To remove the door, open it a few
inches to the special stop position
that will hold the door open, Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the door
straight up and off the hinges.
Note: Be careful not to place hands
between the spring hinge and the
oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch the fingers.
To replace
the door, make sure the
hinges are in the "out" position_
Position the slots in the bottom of
the door squarely
over the hinges°
Then lower the door slowly and
evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against
the oven frame, pull them back out.
