Cleaning the Appliance
Exterior Cleaning
Clean range after each use to prevent sticky grease built-up and spills from cooking on. Wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. Wipe
with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool, cleaners containing ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners on any exterior parts of the range, except
the porcelain enamel cooktop. If a metal cleaner or polish is used on metal trim, be sure the label specifies that it is safe for use on chrome and
aluminium.
Control Panel
Control knobs (some models)
If the control panel needs cleaning turn the control knobs to
OFF “ ”
, then pull knobs straight off the
shafts.
Most cleaning of your steel/aluminum control panel can be done using a clean cloth with warm soapy
water or other mild household cleaners.
Sometimes, applying few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning/polishing cream (with silicone) will
remove any remaining soil and will leave a protective coating which will keep your range looking like new.
Cooktop cleaning/polishing cream can be purchased through authorized service centers or major
department stores.
Models with glass panel:
Use a clean cloth or a sponge with warm, soapy water or paper towel and spray glass cleaner to clean the
glass panel. Be careful not to let water/cleaner go behind the glass or near the knob activated controls.
Replace knobs; engage the flat surface inside the knob cavity with the flat on the shaft. Push knobs onto
the shafts.
Coil Elements and Drip Bowls

Coil elements and drip bowls are removable and allow to
clean the drip bowls.

To clean by hand, wash the drip bowls in hot sudsy water.
