CARE AND CLEANING OF THE OVEN
•
Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any
part of the range.
•
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.
Oven vent
Oven vent
• The oven vent is located above the
right rear surface unit.
• This area can become hot when the
oven is on.
• It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.
• The vent is important for proper air
circulation. Never block this vent.
Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim
• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot and soapy water.
• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and
leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on
any of these surfaces. They can scratch.
Cleaning stainless steel surfaces
1. Shake the bottle of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish well.
2. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or damp
paper towel.
3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary.
•
Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.
• If you have used a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner before to clean
the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the
Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish.
