CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BACKGUARD (if installed)
This is made of stainless steel. Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If the
panel has food soil remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.
Do not use a steel wool pad, it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel,
sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper, rubbing in the direction of the grain. After cleaning use a
stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®. If the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is
possible for the vertical stainless steel panel to discolor from the burner heat. This discoloration can be
removed by using Revere Ware Stainless Steel Cleaner.
POWER FAILURE
To light the cooktop burners, turn the control knob to “LITE”, hold a lighted match to the port ring. After the
flame is burning all the way around the burner, adjust the flame. It is necessary to light each burner separately,
each time you want to use it. Do not attempt to match light the griddle, grill, broil, or oven burners; they will
not function without any electrical power. Make sure knobs are in the “OFF” position should power be restored
and you are away from the unit. Do not leave the burner unattended. The burner will not relight if blown out.
