General Care & Cleaning
Surfaces How to Ctean Oven Racks Remove racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Controls. Use a
mud, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner's recommendations. Rinse with clean water & let dry. After
cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
Oven Door Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a
glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or almow water or the gmaes cleaner to enter the door vents, DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Charting models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
Stainless Steel
Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. DO NOT use cleaners with high conecentrations of chlorides or cMorines. DO NOT use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only
use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainbss steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners form the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
C(eaning Recommendations for Coil Element Cooktop
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier, The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on, Food spilled on a hot element will burn off, Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth--any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used,
Never immerse a surface etement in water.
Be sure the range is cool
before removing elements or drip bowls, Be careful not to bend terminal ends when
replacing ebmentsafterdeaning,
Termlna[ End
Removing the Surface Elements & Drip BowJs 1, Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end, Lift the surface
etement & drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop,
2, While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end
out from the terminal plug, if equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from the drip bowl,
Cteaning the Drip Bowls Wash in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse & dry while still warm.
Hard to remove or burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia & water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used
after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they wiii scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water & polish dry with a soft cloth.
Main top

raising or lowering, This could damage the surface,
Replacing Drip Bowls & Surface Elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. if your drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip & snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end
with the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element & drip bowl together as level as possible & firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level
to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.
Raising the Top for Cleaning
1. Grasp the sides &lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow the support rods to snap into place.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth & hot soapy water.
