Care and cleaning

Read these cleaning instructions and the 'Safety
and warnings' section before you start cleaning
your range.
Before cleaning or removing any part, make
sure that everything on the range has been
turned off.
Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do need to
handle a warm or hot part (e.g. grill or griddle),
take extreme care. Wear long protective mitts
to avoid burns from steam or hot surfaces.
Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to
ensure it doesn't stain.
See the pages following this chart for
instructions on removing and replacing
different parts of the range for cleaning or
maintenance.
To help you identify any parts, see illustrations
in section 'Introduction' and after this cleaning
chart.

suitable stainless steel
cleaner and polish, following
manufacturer's instructions.

lines.
DON'Ts
Do not use aerosol cleaners until the
range has completely cooled. The
propellant substance in these cleaners
could catch fire in the presence of heat.
Do not let soiling or grease accumulate
anywhere in or on the range. This will
make future cleaning more difficult and
may present a fire hazard.
Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel
wool. These will scratch your range and
damage its appearance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any
part of the range.
Do not perform any cleaning or
maintenance on parts not specifically
named in the chart below. If in doubt,
contact Customer Care.
Do not lift the black grill and griddle
frames off the cooktop.
Important!
Always read the label to make sure
your stainless steel cleaner does not
contain chlorine compounds as these
are corrosive and may damage the
appearance of your range.
Do not use and take care not to spill
any stainless steel cleaner on the
knobs, oven handles, or the kickstrip
grate. These are not stainless steel
parts and their surface may be
damaged by stainless steel cleaner.
When cleaning the back trim and the
top of the oven door, be careful not to
let any liquid run down the vent holes.
