Sanitation & Upkeep
• Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position before cleaning.
• Ensure the cooktop and all components relating to the gas range are cooled off before
touching or cleaning.
• When cleaning the oven, only use an oven cleaner specifically designed for ovens.
Ensure proper usage of the oven cleaner by following the instructions of the cleaner
thoroughly.
• If there is a spill on the gas range, cook-top, grate(s), burne r caps, or any other
component of the gas range, clean the spill right away (make sure the range is cooled
off) as leaving any spill can result in the discoloration or staining of your range or
stainless steel.
• Always use caution when cleaning, especially around the burners . If caution is not
used, you may catch the metal igniter electrode on your cleaning item (such as your
sponge or washcloth, etc.), which can damage or break the metal igniter electrode. If
the metal igniter electrode is damaged, the igniter may not ignite.
• If you wish to clean or wash porcelain surfaces, you must allow the areas to cool
beforehand. Hot porcelain can crack and can also burn flesh.
• The best way to clean cooktop porcelain surfaces, stainless steel surfaces, painted
surfaces, burner grates, plastic items, or any other items relating to the gas range is to
use a mild soapy water solution.
THE DO NOT's OF SANITATION AND UPKEEP:
• DO NOT USE oven cleaners on any surface other than the oven.
• DO NOT USE bleach.
• DO NOT USE rust removers.
• DO NOT USE steel wool, only use non-abrasive pads, such as the soft side of a
sponge or a soft washcloth.
• DO NOT USE any abrasive, gritty, or acid-type cleaners.
• DO NOT BLOCK movement of combustion, a.k.a air ventilation.
• DO NOT STORE flammable liquids, vapors (such as gasoline), combustible
equipment or materials near, at, or around the gas range.
• DO NOT USE any metallic or wire brush to clean any components r elating to the
range oven. Some wire or metallic brushes lose their bristles, and these bristles could
get stuck in the burner ports or other small crevices and could result in an explosion or
a fire.
• DO NOT ALLOW food that contains acids such as vinegar, citrus juices (lemon, lime,
grapefruit, etc.), tomatoes, etc., to remain on any painted, porcelain, cooktop, grates,
or any other surface relating to the gas range. Some acids react to the paint and gloss
that is used. If an egg spill should occur, clean the egg spill when the cooktop has
cooled down. Do not allow the egg spill to remain on the surface.
