Oven Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support. To remove a rack, pull the rack towards you until it is free. To install or replace oven rack, slide the rack into the oven on top of the rack supports on the left and right sides of the oven cavity. Ensure that the retaining rods go under the rack supports on both sides. Push rack to the rear of oven until it reaches the back of the oven cavity.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover any oven surface other than racks.
These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product  warranty.
Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Oven Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air for the inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly with correct combustion. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. Vents are located along the rear of the cooktop.

Oven Cooking Guide

Preheat oven for 10-15 minutes before inserting food. Use rack position 3 for standard baking. Use rack positions 3 and 5 for multiple rack baking. Adjust positions as needed. Limit door openings as much as possible to retain heat in the oven.

Oven Cookware
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance. Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than the minimum cook time.

Cooktop Surfaces

Clean cooktop trim with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Burner Caps
Wipe burner caps with hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Burner Heads
Wipe the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Wipe with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame. Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.
Burner Grates
Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. DO NOT use bleach or rust removers on the cooktop or burner grates.

Exterior Surfaces

Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning. The knobs can be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser will remove surface rust, tarnish, of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.

Interior Surfaces

Oven Interior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature. Do not rub or clean the door gasket – it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
Oven Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Racks may be more difficult to slide over time. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
NOTE: will cause a discoloring or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Interior Surfaces

Oven Door
Door Interior and Exterior
Do not allow excess water to run into any of the holes or slots in the door. Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and dry off.
