Safety Instructions 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.
Oven Heating Elements Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated. To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive cleanser or scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Warming Drawer Rack (on some models) Clean the rack with detergent and water. After cleaning, rinse the rack with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Most cleaning can be done with the drawer in place. However, the drawer may be removed if further cleaning is needed. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean. To replace the warming drawer: Place the left drawer rail around the inner left rail guide and slide it in slightly to hook it.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models) The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish. Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.
Oven Vent On glass cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. On coil cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit. Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the sides of the door trim. Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models) Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Normal Daily Use Cleaning ONLY use CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective. To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps: Clean your cooktop after each spill. Use CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner.
Metal Marks and Scratches If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent. WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop. Cooktop Seal To clean the cooktop seal around the edges of the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean with nonabrasive cleaners.
