Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Be sure all controls are 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 reengaged properly
when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Control Panel
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated
before cleaning.
See the
Control Lockout
information in the
Using
the clock, kitchen timer and control lockout
section in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Reactivate the touch pads after cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range
and the door, top of control panel and the
drawer front. Clean these with soap and water
or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all
of the film before using the appliance
for the first time.
To ensure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft
cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE:
The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the
OFF
positions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or
they may also be washed with soap and water.
Make sure the inside of the knobs are dry
before replacing.
Replace the knobs, in the
OFF
position to
ensure proper placement.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
(on some models)
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.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,
use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up
right away. When the surface has cooled,
wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
