Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device
is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Standard Twin Burner Assemblies
(on some models)
On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop
lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls
OFF
before removing
burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so
equipped) can be lifted off, making them
easy to clean.
The holes in the surface burners of your
range must be kept clean at all times for
proper ignition and an even, unhampered
flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these holes.
Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from
the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift
up the cooktop and then lift out the surface
burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the
surface burner in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and hot water. Soak the surface
burner for 20 to 30 minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser
like Soft Scrub® brand or Bon Ami® brand.
Rinse well to remove any traces of the
cleanser that might clog the surface burner
openings.
Do not use steel wool because it will clog the
surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become
clogged, clean them with a sewing needle
or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner back,
shake out excess water and then dry it
thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for
30 minutes. Then place it back in the range,
making sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner.
If the flames are “jumpy” (not steady),
clean the holes again with a sewing needle
or twist-tie.
Drip Pans
(on some models)
Remove the grates and lift out the drip
pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure
they are in the correct position.
To get rid of burned-on food, place them in
a covered container (or plastic bag) with
1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then
scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if
necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the drip pans in a self-
cleaning oven.

Surface burner
CAUTION: Do not operate the
burner without all burner parts and
drip pans (if so equipped) in place.
Clean these holes thoroughly on
each burner.
