CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued Range tops finished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spatters or soiling after each use. Clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. A light coat of oil or thin cooking oil should be applied periodically to the chrome top surface and underside. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the chrome surface. Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric conditions can create an oxidation reaction on the underside of the top. This will appear as rust or in the form of a reddish brown deposit. This will NOT AFFECT THE LIFE OF THE TOP in comparison to the general life expectancy of the range itself. The grate and main top should be removed to gain access to the surface burners. Remove the burner and let it soak in hot sudsy water. Most stains will then wipe off; if not, scrub with a strong but non-abrasive cleaning pad. Rinse the burner thoroughly. It is very important that the burner be dry before replacing it in the range. A wet burner will not allow the gas to ignite properly. This could result in a build-up of gas which could result in an explosion or fire. Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler Aluminum foil when used improperly is a cause of many range fires. Make certain that vents or air openings aren't covered by the foil. If the vents located along the sides of the oven bottom are blocked, poor cooking will result. Never cover a rack completely. A piece of foil slightly larger than the utensil can be placed on the rack beneath the utensil. Remove and discard aluminum foil after each use. This will help prevent greases and spilled food from accumulating and becoming a fire hazard. Cleaners and Cleaning Materials Do not use harsh cleaners or degreasers on or around functional parts (valves, controls, etc., or aluminum tubing). This will damage or drastically reduce the life of the part. Use only a mild solution of soap and water on backguards, aluminum control panels and painted surfaces. Never use harsh abrasives or cleaning powders that may scratch or mar the surface. Make sure the cleaners and cleaning materials are suitable for use on the area to be cleaned. Always keep cleaning materials in a safe place. Never use a sharp metal scraper to clean glass, porcelain, or painted surfaces. Repair Parts When repair parts are needed, contact the dealer from whom the range was purchased. In case your range was purchased from a source other than an appliance dealer you may prefer to contact the manufacturer at the address shown in this manual. Moisture During the initial heat-up of your range, the heat mixing with the cooler air in the oven cavity may produce fogging of the door glass or a collection of water on the door. To 27
