BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
RANGE CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside
surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a
cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled
completely could result in the glass breaking.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
■
Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or non-abrasive scrubbing
pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.
CERAMIC GLASS
(on some models)
Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly
to prevent streaking and staining.
Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended regularly to help
prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition the
cooktop, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance
or Service” to order.
A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and
can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to
order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor
blades out of the reach of children.

Paper towels or clean damp sponge:
Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear
oven mitts while doing so.
