CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued
Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric conditions can
create an oxidation reaclion on the uttdetside of the top. This ,.viii appear as rust or in the
form of a reddish brown deposit. '!his will NOT AtZFECT THE LIFE OF THE TOP in
compa:ison to the _eneza] life expectancy of the range itself.
The grate and main top should be removed to gain access 4o the surface burners. Remove
the burner and let it soak in hot sudsy water. Most stains wi|] flten wipe off; if not, scrub
with a strong but non-abrasive cleaning pad. Rinse the burner thoroughly;
It is ve_' important that the burner be d O, befo:e replacing it in the range. A wet burner
will rtot allow the gas to ignite property. This could resMt in a bultd-up of gas which could
_esu]t in an explosion or rite.
Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler
Aluminum foil when used improperly is a cause of many range rites. Make certain that
vents or ak openings aren't covered by the foil. If the vents located along the sides of the
oven bottom are blocked, poor cooking _vi][ resuh.
Never covet a rack completely. A piece of Foil sliBhtly larger than the utensil can be placed
on the rack beneath the utensiL.
Cleaners and Cleaning Materials
Do not use hm+,_hcleaners or degteasers on or around functiona! parts ('_'a]ves, controls,
etc., or alaminum tubing). This win damage or drastically reduce the life of the p_tt.
Use only a mild solution of soap and water on backguards, aluminum control panels
and painted surfaces, Never use harsh abI_si',,es or cleaning powdem that may scratch oz'
mar the surface+ Make sure the cleaners and cleaning materials are suitable for use on the
area to be cleaned. Always keep cleaning mateiials in a safe place.
Repalr Parts
When repair parts are needed, contact the dealer fi_m whom the range wa_ purchased. In
case your range was purebred from a source other than an appliance dealer you may
prefer to conlaet 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, To
pre\,ent this, open the o',_ea door for the first few seconds ofiMtla] oven heat-up. This wilI
a_low the moist air within the oven to escape without tile forming of visibt_ moisture on
the range. The amount of moisture will depend upon the humidity of the air and water
content of the fo_d being cooked. F0gging and even dripping water wilt usually occur in
geo_'aphie locations of high humidity.
