Beforecleaninganypart ofyour
range (exceptfor operatingthe self-
cleaningcycle),DISCOmCT
ELECTNC POWER To THE
RANGE at the fuseboxor circuit
breaker panel, or pull therange
powercord plug f~omtheele~tric
outlet.
When therange is cool, washthe
enamel finish with mild soap and
water or amild abrasivecleanser
appliedwith a damp cloth. Rinse
the surface with clean water and
dry with a softcloth. If you wish,
occasionallyapply a thin coat of
mild cleaning waxto help protect
the finish.
There are a number ofprecautions
youcan taketo avoidmarring the
surface ofthe range and to prevent
it from becoming dull. Don’tslide
heavypans across it. If you spill
foodswith a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or
foodswith high sugar content,
clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowedto remain, these foods
could cause a dull spot. Also, no
matter how stubborn the food stain,
never use harsh abrasive cleansers.
They could permanently damage
the enamel surface.

BurnerGrates
Gratesshouldbe washed regularly
and, ofcourse, after spillovers.
Washthem in hot, soapywater and
rinse with clean water. Dry the
grateswith a clot~—don’tput them
back on the rangewet.
Toget rid of burned-on food, soak
the gratesin a slightlydiluted
liquid cleanser.
Althoughthey’redurable, tl~e
grates will gradually lose their
shine, regardlessof the bestcare
youcan give them. This isdue to
their continualexposure to high
temperatures,
Do notoperate a burner for an
extendedperiod of time without
cookware-onthegrate. The fi~~ish
on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
When replacing a
pair of grates,
the irregular
m n“
sides should
interlock in
the middle as
shown at right. +
