CLEANING & MAINTANANCE
WARNING
• Always make sure that the controls are off and all surfaces are cool before removing
or cleaning any of the range parts. This will prevent you from getting burned.
• If your range is pulled out from the wall for any reason, make sure that the anti-tip
device is reengaged after your range has been pushed back into place. Failure to
take this precaution could result in your range tipping and personal injury.
Cleaning stainless steel surfaces
CAUTION
Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaners on stainless steel surfaces. Abrasive
pads and cleaners will scratch the surface and damage the finish.
NOTE
To prevent any discolorations or grease stains, we recommend that you clean and
remove any spills, spots, and grease from your range after each use.
1. Place a small amount of a stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth
or damp paper towel.
2. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel, if applicable.
3.Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
4.Repeat as necessary.
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaners on stainless steel surfaces.
Abrasive pads and cleaners will scratch the surface and damage the finish.
• If you previously used a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner, wash the
surface with dish washing liquid and water before using the stainless steel cleaner or
polish.
Cleaning the oven racks
Clean by hand in hot, soapy water with a plastic or soap-filled scouring pad, then dry
with a soft cloth.
If a rack becomes difficult to slide, rub the side rails with wax paper or a cloth containing
a small amount of cooking oil. This helps the rack slide more easily in the tracks.
