surface burners.

collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill­
overs immediately.
Care and cleaning

open window and wiping out excess food spills
prior to self-cleaning.

oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of
any kind should be used in or around any part of
the oven.

broiler grid, oven racks, and other cookware. Do
not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts
unless you are instructed to do so in this
Use and Care Guide.

good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the seal. Clean only parts
