CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
Remove the grates an 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.
•
Place them in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours or
overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.
CAUTION
Do not clean the drip pans in a self-cleaning oven.
•
To avoid damaging the porcelain-enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from
becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.
•
When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry
cloth.
NOTE: For stainless steel cooktops, refer to the Stainless steel surfaces section.
•
•
Never block the vents (air openings of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are neces-
sary 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.
•
It is a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to
clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. For rinsing, use clean water. 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 fi nish.
•
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
•
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
•
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
•
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.
•
Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.
•
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, am-
monia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Knobs are not interchangeable. Be sure to reinstall the knobs to the original loca-
