MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
We suggest maintenance and repairs to be performed by an
Garland Authorized Service Agent. The listing provided with
your range is titled “Maintenance and Repair Centers”.
CAUTION: Remember! Water and electricity do not mix, do
not use excessive water, heavily soaked sponges or rags to
clean switch panels or areas near electrical connections!
NOTE: RUST can form on raw steel and cast iron parts. Be
sure parts are dried thoroughly after cleaning. In warm, moist
environments, raw parts may require protection. Wipe down
with light coating of oil, rust inhibitor, or polish as applicable.
Painted Finishes
Establish a regular cleaning schedule. Any spills should be
wiped off immediately.
The oven should be permitted to cool down before cleaning
exterior surfaces.
Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a light weight non metallic scouring pad. Dry
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Stainless Steel
For routine cleaning just wash with a hot water and
detergent solution.
Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent, a
soft cloth and hot water. If necessary to use a nonmetallic
scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the grain in the
metal to prevent scratching. Use a water based stainless
cleaner (Drakett Twinkle), if you want a high shine. Wash just
a small area at a time or the water will evaporate leaving the
chemicals behind causing streaking.
Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped in a
sanitizing solution and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth
before it can dry.
Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring powder) if you
have to, but never rub against the grain. All stainless steel has
been polished in one direction. Rub with the polish lines to
preserve the original finish. Then thoroughly rinse as before.
To prevent fingerprints there are several stainless steel
polishes on the market that leave an oily or waxy film. Do not
use on surfaces that will be in contact with food.
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated. These stains can
usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring
powder paste.
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools if necessary
to scrape off heavy deposits of grease and oil. Do not use
ordinary steel scrapers of knives as particles of the iron may
become imbedded and rust. STEEL WOOL SHOULD NEVER BE
USED.
Either a typical bleach solution or hot water can be used to
sanitize stainless steel with out harm.
Oven Inner Door Liner and Oven Deck
(Porcelain Enamel)
The porcelain Oven Inner door Liner and Oven Deck can
be cleaned with oven cleaners such as “Easy-Off”, or “Dow
Cleaner”. Follow product manufacture’s instructions for
proper use. CAUTION: Do not get any oven cleaner on any
painted surface, the oven cleaner will remove the paint!
CAUTION: Do not get any oven cleaner on Aluminized Steel
Inner Surfaces, it will cause the surface to turn a deep blue
color and may mar the aluminized surface.
Interior Cleaning of Standard Aluminized
Steel Interior Surfaces.
The oven sides and top linings are formed of heavy gauge
steel with an aluminum fused into its surface to provide
for the reflectance of heat back to the food being prepared
and to virtually eliminate the possibility of rust formation.
Establish a regular cleaning schedule or wipe off on the same
day when spillovers occur.
1. Cool down oven.
2. Remove oven racks.
3. Lift rack guides on either side of oven off of holders, pull
the top away from the cavity wall, when it’s cleared the
clips push down and remove. Racks and guides may
be run through dishwasher while oven cavity is being
cleaned.
4. Use a concentrated detergent on a plastic pad to remove
burned on soil. Do Not Use Steel Wool, Oven Cleaner Or
Abrasive Powders. These will remove the aluminum. Rinse
with warm water on a soft cloth. Be sure to remove all
traces of detergent. Any discoloration which may remain
after the soil build-up has been removed will not affect
the performance of the oven.
5. To reinstall reverse procedure. Place the bottom of the
rack guide against the cavity wall. Keeping the top pulled
away from the wall lift up. Push the top of the rack guide
against the wall and push down locking it into place.
