Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device
is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Sealed Burner Assemblies—porcelain cooktop models
Turn all controls
OFF
before removing the
burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates, caps, burner heads and
drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off,
making them easy to clean.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner head is
removed. When one burner is turned
to
LITE,
all the burners spark. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
Burner Heads
For proper ignition, make sure the
small hole in the section that fits over the
electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or
wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads of your range must be
kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered
flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these openings.
To remove burned-on food, soak the
burner heads in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
Before putting the burner head back, shake
out excess water and then dry it thoroughly
by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replace the burner heads and caps. Make
sure that the heads and caps are replaced in
the correct location. There are 2 large, one
medium and one small head and cap.
NOTE: Before removing the burner heads and
caps, remember their size and location. Replace
them in the same location after cleaning.
Burner Caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in
hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.
You may scour with a plastic scouring pad
to remove burned-on food particles.
Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth—
don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the
burner caps.
Make sure that caps are replaced on the
correct size burner. There are 2 large, one
medium and one small head and cap.
Use a sewing needle or twist-tie to
unclog the small hole in the burner
head.
After cleaning, make sure the slot
in the burner head is positioned
over the electrode.
