CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Cleaning under bake element (some models)
The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity. For
some models, if the lower bake element is visible it may be
tilted up for easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.
Remove the oven racks before raising the element. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.
Cleaning under cooktop (some models)
To raise the cooktop for cleaning (some models)
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front (See Figure 16).
Lift-up rods will support the top in a raised position. Only
lift the cook top far enough to allow the support rods to
snap into place.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy
water.
To lower, hold the cooktop up and gently push back on each
rod to release the notched support. Hold the cooktop while
slowly sliding the lift rods down into the range frame.
• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry
when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be
damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to or perma
-
nently damage the coil or cooktop.

WARNING
IMPORTANT
When lowering the lift-up range cooktop, grasp the sides
with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Do not
