Brass Parts CAUTION: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE BRASS OPTION PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. Stainless Steel Parts All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as Liquid Zud can be used according to package directions. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately. Glass Surface Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it does not run down on exterior door surface. Wok Cast Iron Burner (If applicable) For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be sure the venturi tube remains dry. Venturi tube Burner ports Orifice 34 Broiler There is no special care required for the infrared broiler. It is designed as self-contained unit, and no adjustments or cleaning are possible. Do not attempt to clean it. Its own operation burns off any impurities which may condense on it. Clean the broiler pan and grid after each use with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The broiler pan and grid is also dishwasher safe. Oven Racks Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Replacing Interior Oven Lights CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER AT THE MAIN FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE REPLACING BULB. 1. Unscrew glass light cover. 2. Use an oven mitt during bulb removal to protect your hand in case the bulb breaks. 3. Replace the bulb with a 120 volt, 40-watt appliance bulb. 4. Replace the light cover 5. Reconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker. Power Failure If power failure occurs, the electric ignitors will not work. The range surface burners can still be used, but only when the burners are lit manually with a match. The griddle cannot be used at all. Do not attempt to operate the oven. Make sure the oven control is in the "OFF" position. Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, under no circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner control should always remain in the "OFF" position during a power failure. Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function properly without any adjustments. A "brown-out" may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. 35
