Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Heating Elements
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.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry
with a clean cloth.
To make the shelves slide more easily,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven shelves with the
paper towel.
Broiler Pan & Grid
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-
cleaning oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out the grease from
the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid
in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking
the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven. Do not store a
soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the range.
