CARE AND CLEANING
It is always easier to clean as you go – and while some evenings you’d rather sit down with a good book instead of a Scrubbie, keeping
your appliance in a ready-to-go-state for the next meal makes everything a little more tolerable.
When cleaning the range:
0
Use the mildest procedure that will do the job efficiently and effectively – and since some cleaners are harsher than others, it
is best to try them on a small, inconspicuous area first.
0
Use only clean, soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, plastic brushes, non-metal soap pads for cleaning and scouring.
0
When cleaning the oven door, control panel, curved sections or the flat top area – always pretend it is made of wood – and
rub the finish in the direction of the grain. This is the most effective cleaning direction, to prevent marring the surface.
0
Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot, sudsy water. When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
0
Always wipe dry immediately to reduce the appearance of water marks.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN
The oven cavity is porcelainized with Chrome rack guides and racks. The infrared broiler does not need to be cleaned. Any soil is burned
off by the intense heat.
0
Place a medium glass baking dish filled with one quart of water. Close the door and bake at 225
o
F for an hour or two. Allow to
cool until safe, wipe with a damp cloth, them dry. This process softens the soil for easier removal.
0
Wash the interior of the oven with soap and water. Make a paste with baking soda and water, and using a sponge or nylon pad
rub away stubborn stains.
0
Use mild scrubbing compounds such as Bon Ami or Cameo if necessary.
0
Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
0
If necessary, spray oven cleaner can be used.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR UP ONTO THE INFRARED BROILER.
DO NOT LET SPRAY CONTACT THE STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR.
0
When spray oven cleaners are used, follow using a 1/4 cup vinegar mixed with one quart of water to rinse the oven.
0
Do not use scouring powders on the glass window; oven spray may be used on the window. Rinse with vinegar and water
solution.
