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
safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS
DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF YOUR RANGE.

Standard Twin Burners

Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts.
The burner grates 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.

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. The cooktop lifts up for easy access to
the burners. Remove the screw from each burner.
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.
Replace the screw.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames
are ÒjumpyÓ (not steady), clean the holes again with a
sewing needle or twist-tie.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE
BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS
IN PLACE.

Surface burner

Clean these holes

thoroughly on each

burner.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the
broiler pan. 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, sprinkle 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 a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in
the range.
