Care and Cleaning
cleaning the Porcelain grates and warming rack
•
the standard grates and warming rack that come with
the appliance are coated with a porcelain finish. For
everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive
pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porce-
lain parts.
•
If necessary, tough stains may be removed by apply-
ing full strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax
All-Purpose Cleaner or formula 409™. to minimize
wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the sur-
face clean.
•
for extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly
abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub,
Bon Ami, S.O.S. pads or other soap-filled steel wool
pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care and only
on occasion. extensive use of these types of abrasives
will eventually damage the porcelain enamel.
cleaning the drip tray and Flame Spreaders
• To clean the drip tray and flame spreaders, scrub with
a solution of hot dishwashing soap and the coarse side
of a sponge. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a
scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water.
Use steel wool with extreme care and only on occa-
sion. Do not use steel wool on the front of the drip
tray panel. You may also use a solution of one cup of
ammonia to two gallons of water.
