I WARNINGI

Ifuour

forcleaning,

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.

To

check

if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,

carefully

tip the range forward. The

bracket

should stop the range within

4

inches. If it does not, the

bracket

must

be

reinstalled.

If the range is pulled from the wall

for

any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the

range is properly secured

by

the anti-tip bracket.

Ifyour range has no anti-tip bracket, call

(onsomemodels)

For

cleaning

information on

sealed

burners,

see next section. Sealed

burner

cooktops

do not lift up.

To remove burned-on food, soak the surface

burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent and

hot water. Soakthe surface burner for 20-30

minutes.

On models with standard twin

burners,

the

cooktop

lifts up for easy access.

Turn all controls

OFF

before removing burner

parts and drip pans (if so equipped).

The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped)

can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.

The holes in the surface burners of

your

range

must be kept clean at all times for proper

ignition and an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners routinely,

especially after bad spillovers,which could clog

these holes.

Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover

occurs, remove the surface burners from the

range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the

cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.

For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like

Soft Scrub®brand or Bon Ami®brand. Rinsewell

to remove any traces of the cleanser that might

clog the surface burner openings.

Do not use steel wool because it will clog the

surface burner openings and scratch the

surface burners. If the holes become clogged,

clean them with a sewing needle or twist-tie.

Before putting the surface burner back, shake

out excess water and then dry it thoroughly by

setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then

place it back in the range, making sure it is

properly seated and level.

Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the

flames are 'jumpy" (not steady), clean the holes

again with a sewing needle or twist-tie.

Clean

these holes

thoroughly

on

each

burner.

Drip Pans (if

so

equipped)

Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.

Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by

When replacing the drip pans, make sure they

are in the correct position.

To get rid of burned-on food, place them in a

covered container (or plastic bag) with 1//4cup

ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a

soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

CAUTION:

oo

not

clean
