Cooktop Disassembly and Cleaning

1.  Disconnect the power cord.
2.  When the range is cool, remove the grates from 

the range.

3.  Disassemble the burners: Lift the burner caps 

and burner rings off of the burner bases.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use any of the cleaners 

listed below to clean the burners and igniters. See 

the following page for Burner and Igniter Clean-

ing Instructions.
The grates and spill tray are coated with a porcelain 

finish. 
•  For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non-

abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all 

of the porcelain parts.

•  If necessary, tough stains may be removed by 

applying full-strength sprays such as Simple 

Green™, Ajax™ All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 

409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner 

needed to get the surface clean.

•  For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a 

mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as 

Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.

®

 pads or other 

soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these clean-

sion. Aggressive or extensive use of these 

types of abrasives will damage the finish. Finish 

Care and Cleaning

6.  Push in on the oven control knob and turn it 

to CLEAN. The knob lights to indicate that self 

clean is running. The oven door automatically 

locks during self-cleaning to prevent the door 

from being opened, since the high interior oven 

temperatures can easily cause injury. The door 

will latch within about 15 to 20 seconds.

If you want to stop the self clean cycle before it 

is complete, turn the oven control knob to the 

OFF position. If the oven temperature is 600°F 

(315°C) or below, the door latch will release 

after a several seconds. Otherwise, the oven 

door will remain locked until the temperature 

cools to below 600°F.

•  Turn the oven control knob to the OFF position 

when the oven burner light stops cycling on and 

off. The door latch will release when the oven 

temperature is 600°F (315°C) or below. Exercise 

caution opening the door because the oven will 

still be hot inside.

•  Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks 

before using the oven.

•  You may notice a powder ash residue in the 

bottom of the oven after self-cleaning. This con-

dition is normal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to 

wipe up the residue after the oven cools down.

General Cleaning

NOTE: The self-clean feature eliminates the need 

for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The steps 

on the following pages are for cleaning surfaces and 

items that are not covered by the self-clean process.

Cooktop

•  To keep the cooktop looking and operating its 

best, clean it after every use. Also, wipe up spills 

that occur while cooking quickly. Be careful not 

to touch any hot areas. 

•  If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts, 

they will burn on and be very difficult to clean. 

Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus 

juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage the 

finishes if you allow them to stand for any length 

of time.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely 

high temperatures. The grates are under high 

stress when hot utensils are placed on them. Also, 

the range parts are occasionally exposed to acidic 

food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions, 

cause the porcelain enamel parts on your range to 

undergo a change in appearance over time. If you 

care for and clean these parts carefully, you will 

slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.
