Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and appearance of your range. The oven offers both Steam Clean and Self Clean options for convenient interior cleaning.
Oven Cleaning:
- Steam Clean: A quick cleaning cycle that uses water and low heat to loosen light soils, making them easier to wipe away.
- Self Clean: A high-temperature cycle that incinerates heavy soils into a fine ash, which can then be easily wiped away once the oven cools.
Cooktop Cleaning:
The cast-iron grates on the cooktop are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For the stainless steel surfaces, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Kenmore gas range, refer to the troubleshooting section in the complete product manual for detailed solutions.
