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)°
Broiler
Pan and Grid
After broiling,
remove the broiler
pan from the oven
or broiler
compartment
(depending
on your model).
Remove
the grid from the pan. Carefully
pour
out
grease from
the pan into a proper
container.
Wash and
rinse the broiler
pan and grid in hot water with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring
pad.
If food
has burned
on, sprinlde
the grid with
detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or
a dishcloth°
Soaking the pan will remove burned-on
foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned
in
the dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in
the range_
Oven
Shelves
Clean
the shelves with an abrasive
cleanser
or steel
wool.
After cleaning,
rinse the shelves
with clean water
and dry with a clean cloth°
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
&y 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 wel!.
The control
knobs
may be removed
for easier
deaning.
To remove knob,
pull it straight
off the
stem. If knob is difficult
to remove,
place a towel or
dishcloth
between
the knob and control
pane! 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°
