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.
Care and cleaning of the range.
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
20–30 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.

CAUTION:
Do not operate the
cooktop without all burner parts,
drip pans (if so equipped) and
grates in place.
Clean these holes thoroughly on
each burner.
Drip Pans
(if so equipped)
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.
For cleaning information on sealed
burners, see next section. Sealed burner
cooktops do not lift up.
