Cleaning your range
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning turn off the circuit
breaker. After cleaning remember to switch on the
circuit breaker before using the range.
Never use paint solvents, caustic cleaners,
biological powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t
mix diff erent cleaning products - they may react
together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown in
the chart below.
Cleaning the Range - Daily care
Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore,
but it has to be done to maintain effi ciency and
appearance. Remember it is better to wipe up any
spills as they occur, this will prevent them burning
on and becoming more diffi cult 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 fl ames should be a
blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the fl ames may be “softer”. The
cooktop burner fl ames may have a slight yellowish
tip.
If the fl ame burns with a long white tip you should
call for service.
Cleaning chart
All Parts listed here can be cleaned using hot soapy water (dishwashing liquid detergent) and a soft cloth.
