Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Air Vents
Vent appearance and location vary.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven
door, and at the bottom of the range.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild
soap and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up
or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
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.
Lower oven knob (on some
models)
Surface burner knob
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the
OFF
position to
ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE:
Knobs are not interchangeable. Be
sure to reinstall the knobs to the original
location.
Oven Shelves and Broiler Rack
The shelves and broiler rack can be cleaned
by hand using soap and water or with an
abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves and broiler rack
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
After cleaning, grease all oven rack edges
with a light coating of vegetable oil. This will
help maintain the ease of sliding the racks in
and out of the oven.
