Care and cleaning of the range.
ge.com
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
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 Caps and Heads
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, replace the burner head
first, then the burner cap and finally the
burner grate.
Make sure that the heads and caps are
replaced in the correct locations. There
is one small, one medium, one large
and one extra large burner head
and cap.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE
BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER
PARTS IN PLACE.

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.
