A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed 

and engaged.

Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range 

is moved.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in 

place and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or 

serious burns to children or adults.

Tip-Over Hazard

WARNING

Range – Exterior

CARE AND CLEANING:

 Range – Exterior

WARNING

  If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the 

anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced . Failure to 

take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death 

or serious burns to children or adults .

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range .

Control Lockout

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before 

cleaning .
See Lock Controls in the Oven Controls section in this 

manual .
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth .

You may also use a glass cleaner .
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water . Do not use 

abrasives of any kind .
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning .

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use . 

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 cleansers, 

plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control 

panel—they will damage the finish, including Black 

Stainless Steel .

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong 

liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or 

cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven . 

Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water 

solution . Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth . 

When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at 

room temperature and not in direct sunlight .

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild 

abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results .
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and 

basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration 

and should be wiped up immediately . Let hot surfaces 

cool, then clean and rinse .

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the 

door, top of control panel and the drawer front . Clean 

these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution .

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning 

powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted 

surface, including Black Stainless Steel .

Stainless Steel excluding Black Stainless Steel (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface .
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend 

Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and 

small blemishes . Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit 

and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, 

soft sponge .

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy 

water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish . Always wipe 

the surface in the direction of the grain . Follow the cleaner 

instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface .
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products 

including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, 

see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections 

at the end of this manual .
