CLEANING
THE RANGE,
Continued
Range tops finished
in brushed
chrome
should
be wiped clean of spaters
or soiling
after
each use.
Clean
with a paper
towel
or a damp
cloth.
For heavy
spatters,
use a mild
detergent
and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
A light coat of oil or thin cooking
oil should
be applied
periodically
to the chrome
top
surface and underside.
This will help prevent moisture
from penetrating
the chrome surfhce.
Products
of combustion
from the top pilots as well as certain
atmospheric
conditions
can
create an oxidation
reaction
on the underside
of the top. This will appear as rust or in the
form of a reddish
brown
deposit.
This will NOT AFFECT
THE
LIFE OF THE TOP in
comparison
to the general
life expectancy
of the range
itself.
The grate and main top should
be removed
to gain access to the surface
burners.
Remove
the burner
and let it soak in hot sudsy water. Most stains will then wipe
of L if not, scrub
with a strong
but non-abrasive
cleaning
pad. Rinse the burner
thoroughly.
It is very important
that the burner
be dry before
replacing
it in the range.
A wet burner
will not allow the gas to ignite properly.
This could result in a build-up
of gas which could
result in an explosion
or fire.
Aluminum
Foil in Oven
and Broiler
Aluminum
foil when used improperly
is a cause
of many
range
fires.
Make certain
that
vents or air openings
aren't
covered
by the foil. lfthe
vents located
along the sides of the
oven bottom
are blocked,
poor cooking
will result.
Never cover a rack completely.
A piece of foil slightly
larger than the utensil
can be placed
on the rack beneath
the utensil.
Remove
and discard
aluminum
foil after each use. This
will help prevent
greases
and
spilled food from accumulating
and becoming
a fire hazard.
Cleaners
and Cleaning
Materials
Do not use harsh
cleaners
or degreasers
on or around
functional
parts
(valves,
controls,
etc., or aluminum
tubing).
This will damage
or drastically
reduce the life of the part.
Use only a mild solution
of soap and water
on backguards,
aluminum
control
panels
and painted
surfaces.
Never
use harsh abrasives
or cleaning
powders
that may scratch or
mar the surface.
Make sure the cleaners
and cleaning
materials
are suitable
for use on the
area to be cleaned.
Always
keep cleaning
materials
in a safe place. Never use a sharp metal
scraper
to clean glass, porcelain,
or painted
suri, ices.
Repair Parts
When repair parts are needed,
contact
the dealer from whom
the range was purchased.
In
case your range
was purchased
from
a source
other
than an appliance
dealer
you may
prefer to contact
the manufacturer
at the address
shown
in this manual.
Moisture
During
the initial
heat-up
of your range,
the heat mixing
with the cooler
air in the oven
cavity
may produce
fogging
of the door glass or a collection
of water
on the door.
