Care & Cleaning
General cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care &
Cleaning section for more detailed information about
cleaning specific parts of the range.
ik CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
ik CAUTION I Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adeguate ventilation.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort reguired
for major cleaning later.
Aluminum foil and utensils
A WARNING i NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
causing o fire hazard.
ik WARNING Protective liners — DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. — DO NOT
USE aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls, or reflector
pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
Cleaning oven bottom (some models)
Oven elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The oven bake and broil
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if touched
before they have cooled sufficiently.

The following cleaning instruction applies ONLY for models
that have a visible lower bake element.
The lower bake element may be tilted from the front for
better access to the oven bottom for cleaning purposes. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.
