Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning. The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do
not use any sharp items to remove the
film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time. To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging tape
on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
WARNING:
If your range is removed for cleaning, 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.

Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner heads and burner
caps can be removed for easy cleaning.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed
beyond the surface of the burner base. When
cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag
the electrode of the spark igniter with your
cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could
occur. To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark
igniter, leave the burner heads in place when
cleaning the cooktop.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls
while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical
shock might result which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.
Wash burner parts with an all-purpose
non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak
stubborn soil. Dry them with a cloth—do not
reassemble while wet.
To reassemble the surface burners:
Place burner heads over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size.
Place the
matching size
caps onto the
heads.
Make sure
that the heads
and caps are
placed in the
correct
locations.
After cleaning,
first replace
the vent grille
and vent grille
cap. Replace the side grates so that they fit
over the tabs on the vent grille. Make sure
the grates are positioned securely over the
burners and that they are stable and level.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS
IN PLACE.
Make sure the slot in the burner
head is positioned over electrode.
