General Cleaning Refer to "Cleaning various part of the oven" on page 23 for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts of the range. CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns. If ammonia is used, it must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation. Aluminum Foil and Utensils WARNING Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners CAUTION To avoid possible burns, DO NOT attempt any of the cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF all of the surface burners and allowing them to cool. Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop: If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up the spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. WARNING Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. IMPORTANT • Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances. • Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface. 25
