CARE AND CLEANING

Oveiî Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air
inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under
the kick panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer (depending on the model).
Vent appearance and location vary

especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:

2. Remove the grates.
