Care and Cleaning
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:
1. Be sure burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the
cooktop up while you clean underneath it.
Clean under the cooktop
with hot, soapy water and a
clean cloth. If you removed
your surface burners while
cleaning, make sure they are
properly seated when
replacing them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not
to pinch your fingers). Lower cooktop gently to avoid
blowing out pilot flames (on standing pilot models).
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary
for the range to operate properly with correct
combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the
cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at
the bottom of the range, under the kick panel, storage
drawer or broiler drawer (depending on the model).
Vent appearance and location vary.
Oven Air Vents
The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware
and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable
material in the drawer.
The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under
the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth
or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or scouring pads.
To remove the storage drawer:
1. Pull the drawer straight
out until it stops.
2. Tilt the front of the drawer
up and free of the range.
To replace the storage drawer:
1. Set the stops on the back of the drawer over the
stops in the range.
2. Slide the drawer evenly and straight back, so that
the rails in the range are engaged.
Removable Storage Drawer (on some models)
Removable Kick Panel (on some models)
The kick panel may be removed for cleaning under
the range.
To remove, lift up the bottom of
the panel slightly to disengage the
panel from the tabs at the base of
the range. Pull the bottom of the
panel forward until the spring clips
are released at the top of the panel.
To replace, insert the two slots
at the bottom of the panel onto
the two tabs at the base of the
range and push the top of the
panel forward to engage the
spring clips.
