Care and Cleaning

Cleaning

•  Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual. 

Clean them only in the manner specified.

•  To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range’s 

surfaces and accessories, use only the types of 

cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

•  To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners 

and oven and make sure that all parts are cool before 

cleaning. 

DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning.

•  Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. Steam 

could penetrate the electrical components and cause a 

short circuit. 

•  To reduce the chance of electric shock, disconnect 

the range power cord from the electrical outlet before 

cleaning.

•  Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object 

such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may 

scratch your range’s surfaces.

•  To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive 

cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring 

pads on any part of the range unless instructed to do 

so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic 

brush or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces 

of your range.

•  Ensure that the anti-tip bracket is engaged after the 

range is moved out for cleaning. Use a flashlight to 

look underneath the range and verify that the anti-tip 

bracket covers the rear leg when the range is moved 

back into place.

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.

To keep the range 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, vin-

egar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if 

you allow them to stand for any length of time.

Cooktop Disassembly and Cleaning

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

the top of the cooktop.

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 facing page for burner and igniter cleaning 

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 

covered under your warranty.
