Page 41 highlights

Appearance may vary. Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models) Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface. Shake bottle well. Place a small amount of stainless steel cleaner on a damp cloth or damp paper towel. Clean a small area (approximately 8″ x 8″), rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth. Repeat as necessary. NOTE: If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner has been used before to clean the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the stainless steel cleaner. After washing the surface with dishwashing liquid and water, use a generous amount of stainless steel cleaner to clean the appliance. To Order: To order stainless steel cleaner, please contact your dealer. Stainless Steel Cleaner PM10X311 Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models) The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acidresistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish. For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth. If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well. Oven Vent On models with glass cooktops, the oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop. On models with coil cooktops, the oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit. On slide-in and drop-in models, the oven vent is located above the door. This area could become hot during oven use. It is normal for steam to come out of the vent and moisture may collect underneath it when the oven is in use. The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. Oven Heating Elements (on some models) Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated. To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. 41
