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.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of
the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull,
clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid

(tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
a high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed

to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
For other spills, such as fat smatterings, etc., wash
with soap and water once the surface has cooled.
Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop.  Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Lift-Up Cooktop 

(on some models)

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for
easier cleaning. To make cleaning easier, the entire
cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up
position. Be sure all surface units are turned off
before raising the cooktop. There are two side
supports that lock into position when the cooktop is
lifted up. The Calrod” units do not need to be removed
before lifting. After cleaning under the cooktop with
hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the
cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers. To
lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently
lower the cooktop until it rests in place.
