CARE AND MAINTENANCE

FOR HARD TO CLEAN SOIL, USE THIS METHOD:

If residue is still left, make a paper collar around the burner
and igniter and tape it together (Fig. 14).  Spray “Easy Off ” or
“SOS” oven spray using the cool method on soiled area.  Cover
it with a paper towel and leave it on the area at least 4 hours
or overnight (Fig. 15).  With a warm moist sponge, remove the
oven spray and soil.  Dry with a soft cloth.

CONTROL KNOBS -  OVEN AND COOKTOP

The control knobs are plastic and can be cleaned in hot, soapy water.  To remove the knobs from the control
panel, grasp the knob and pull straight towards you and away from the range.  Wash, do not soak.  Rinse and dry
thoroughly.  It is important to replace these knobs on the correct gas valve on the control panel.  The oven knob
has temperature indicators on it and only the center burner knob has “Simmer” setting.  The cooktop knobs have
“Lite” and Hi to Low.

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.

OVEN DOOR REMOVAL

WARNING!

Do not lift oven door by the handle - will cause damage!  Be sure the oven and
door are cool before you begin to remove the door!

1. Open the door all the way open (Fig. 16).

2.  Unlock the door hinges by rotating the lock forward (Fig. 17).

3. Once both hinges are unlocked, gently begin to close the door until the door

reaches approximately halfway closed.  Grabbing the sides of the door and
gently lifting up and slightly forward, the door will unlatch from the hinge.

4.  Continue to lift and pull the door away from the range.
