Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
adhesive left from packaging tape and
labels on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE:
The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs are in the
OFF
position. When replacing the knobs,
check the
OFF
position to insure proper
placement.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located above the left side of
the door.
This area could become hot during
oven use.
It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.
The vent is important for proper air circulation.
Never block this vent.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean stainless steel surfaces, use a
hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent
suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use
a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove
soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
If food soil remains, try a general
kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®,
Simple Green®, or Formula 409®.
For hard-to-clean soil, use a
standard stainless steel cleaner,
such as Bon-Ami® or Cameo®.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge.
Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove
cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
Always scrub lightly in the direction of
the grain.
After cleaning, use a stainless steel
polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®,
Revere Copper and Stainless Steel
Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose
Metal Polish®. Follow the product
instructions for cleaning the stainless
steel surface.
