Cleaning the Range - Daily care
Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be done to maintain eciency and appearance.
Remember it is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent them burning on and becoming more
dicult to remove later.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED -FOR EXAMPLE
BY BUILD OF FATS OR GREASE.
On Natural Gas the burners ames should be a blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the ames may be “softer”. The cooktop burner ames may have a slight yellowish tip.
If the ame burns with a long white tip you should call for service.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as possible turn the burner o and allow to cool. Do not
clean until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as soon as possible.
Do not allow surplus water to seep into the range.
Cooktop burners
Some models have a separate trim ring, which ts on the burner head.
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
Do not put the burner heads in a dishwasher.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing.
