Range Top Burners
The
in the burners of your
range must be kept clean at all
times for proper ignition and an
even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burners
routinely and especially after bad
spillovers which could clog these
holes. Burners lift right out for
Note: A screw holds each of
the burners in place to keep them
from wobbling around during
shipment. Remove and discard the
shipping screw. Tilt the burner to
the right to release its two tabs from
slots in the burner support and
move the burner toward the back of
the range. This disengages it from
the gas valve at the front of the
range, and it lifts out easily.
To remove burned-on food, soak
the burner in a solution of a product
used for cleaning the inside of
makers. Soak the burner for 20 to
30 minutes. If the food doesn’t
rinse off completely, scrub it with
soap and water or a mild abrasive
cleanser and a damp cloth.
Before putting the burner back, dry
it thoroughly by setting it in a warm
oven for 30 minutes. Then place it
back in the range, making sure it is
properly seated and level.

The oven bottom has a porcelain
enamel finish. To make cleaning
easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers. This is
particularly important when baking
a fruit pie or other foods with high
acid content. Hot fruit fillings or
foods that are acid in content such
as milk, tomato or sauerkraut, and
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice,
may cause pitting and damage to
the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface,
place a piece of aluminum foil

or a small cookie sheet on a lower
shelf or under the baking dish to

firmly on each side and lift the door
straight up and off the hinges.
Note: Be careful not to place hands
between the spring hinge and the
oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, make sure the
hinges are in the “out” position.
Position the slots in the bottom of
the door squarely over the hinges.
Then lower the door slowly and
evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against
the oven frame, pull them back out.
Oven Shelves
Oven shelves may be cleaned with
a mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean
cloth.
To remove heavy, burned-on soil,
soapy metal pads may be used
following manufacturer’s directions.
After scrubbing, wash with soapy
water, rinse and dry.
