Griddle Operation
Cleaning Instructions
✓
Read these cleaning instructions and the "Safety and Warnings" section, Pages 5-
11, before you start cleaning your range.
✓
Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything on the range has
been turned off.
✓
Unless suggested otherwise in the following chart, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do need to handle a warm or hot part (e.g. grill or
griddle), take extreme care. Wear long protective mitts to avoid burns from steam or hot
surfaces.
✓
Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to ensure it does not stain.
✓
See the pages following this checklist for instructions on removing and replacing var-
ious parts of the range for cleaning or maintenance.
Don'ts
✓
Do not use aerosol cleaners until the range has completely cooled. The propellant
substance in these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of heat.
✓
Do not let grime or grease accumulate anywhere in or on the range. This will make
future cleaning more difficult and may present a fire hazard.
✓
Do not use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel wool.
These will scratch your range and damage its appearance.
✓
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range.
✓
Do not lift the black grill and griddle frames off the cooktop.
Cleaning burner caps and brass flame spreaders
1.
Check that the burner is turned OFF and allow it to cool. Lift off the burner cap and
brass flame spreader. Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry.
2.
Use a stiff nylon brush or straight-ended paper clip to clear the notches of a flame
spreader. Replace the flame spreader and burner cap correctly.
✓
The surface of the griddle is hot after use. Please allow sufficient time for
the griddle to cool prior to cleaning.
✓
When using the appliance for the first time, the oven and broiler burners
should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on to
450°F (230°C) for 20 to 30 minutes; after that, turn the oven control knob to
“Broil” for the same length of time. It is recommended to turn on the
ventilator above the range at this time.
✓
Must disconnect the electrical supply before servicing or cleaning the ap-
pliance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.
