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 your
range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
Oven Shelves
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable
if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However,
any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato
or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on
the finish.
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Surface Units and Drip Pans
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the
highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off
any soil.
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units
must be removed first.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.
If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan
when you plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than
1 inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
• Replace the drip pan into
the recess in the cooktop.
Make sure opening in
the pan lines up with
the receptacle.
• Insert the terminals of the surface unit through
the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
• Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.
To clean the drip pans:
Drip pans can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by
hand. If you use a scouring pad, rub lightly to prevent
scratching.
Q. Can I cover the drip pans with foil?
A. No, because using foil so close to the receptacle
could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.
