Care and cleaning of the range. Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range. WARNING: If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury. Make sure the slot in the burner head is positioned over electrode. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE. 22 How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time. To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on. Control Knobs The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning. The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement. Burner Assembly The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Turn all controls off before removing burner parts. The burner grates, burner heads and burner caps can be removed for easy cleaning. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark igniter, leave the burner heads in place when cleaning the cooktop. Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Wash burner parts with an all-purpose non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth-do not reassemble while wet. To reassemble the surface burners: Place burner heads over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size. Medium head and cap Small head and cap Large head and cap Front of range Large head and cap Place the matching size caps onto the heads. Make sure that the heads and caps are placed in the correct locations. After cleaning, first replace the vent grille and vent grille cap. Replace the side grates so that they fit over the tabs on the vent grille. Make sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners and that they are stable and level.
