Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
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.
The knobs can also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape and
cooktop 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 reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner heads and burner
caps can be removed for easy cleaning.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed
beyond the surface of the burner base. When
cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag
the electrode of the spark igniter with your
cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could
occur.
To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark
igniter, leave the burner heads in place when
cleaning the cooktop.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop
controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight
electrical shock might result which could
cause you to knock over hot cookware.
Wash burner parts with an all-purpose
non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak
stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not
reassemble while wet.
To reassemble the surface burners:
Place burner heads over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size.
Place the
matching
size caps
onto the
heads.
Make sure
that the
heads and
caps are
placed in
the correct
locations.
After
cleaning,
first replace the vent grille and vent
grille cap. Replace the side grates so that
they fit over the tabs on the vent grille.
Make sure the grates are positioned
securely over the burners and that
they are stable and level.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT
ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
Make sure the slot in the burner
head is positioned over electrode.
