Well i think maybe i moved from a newbie to a rookie i just completed my first cleaning today and think i did a great job i just did not brush the exhaust tubes located behind the heat exchange panels because i am afraid to damage the ESP Probe. I am still not sure if i need to remove the probe before i brush it i have been getting conflicting responses to this question and think i will wait to brush them when i do the end of year cleaning when i pull the stove out and do the major cleaning.
