Self-Cleaning Technology
AquaLift
®
Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning
solution designed to minimize the time, temperature, and odors
that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With
AquaLift
®
Self-Cleaning Technology, an innovative coating on the
interior of the oven is activated with heat and water to release
baked-on soil. To use AquaLift
®
Self-Cleaning Technology, simply
wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom, and run
the AquaLift
®
Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in
under 1 hour at a lower temperature than in traditional self-
cleaning methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose
debris. See the “Clean Cycle” section for more detailed
instructions. For additional information, frequently asked
questions and videos on using AquaLift

Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Baking, Warming or Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not
store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the
drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper, or
other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Sealed Surface Burners
A. Burner cap
B. Burner base
C. Alignment pins
D. Igniter
E. Gas tube opening
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap:
Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section in the Owner’s Manual.
Alignment:
Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner
base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter
electrode with the notch in the burner base.
Gas tube opening:
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube
by always using a burner cap.

Burner Ports:
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is
blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF
and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners,
bleach, or rust removers.

Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section in the Owner’s
