Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: When cleaning the cooking surface around the valve cover plate, be aware that
detergents may corrode the electrical contacts on the valve switches (preventing an ignition
spark) and may also degrade the gasket seal on the valve itself (causing a gas leak). To
prevent damage to these components, remove valve cover and wipe up excess detergents
around and on these components, or, remove valve cover for cleaning, thereby eliminating
the chance of detergents coming in contact with these components. When removing valve
cover remember to unplug the power to the range.
Porcelain
Keeping it clean
The porcelain is very serviceable and simple to clean, but because it is glass, it will not
withstand rough handling or abuse. Never clean porcelain parts while stove is hot. Porcelain
is glass and sudden changes in temperature may cause cracking. Clean porcelain surfaces,
using warm soapy water, glass cleaner or non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid
abrasive cleaners.
If any acid-based food or liquid, such as lemon juice or tomato juice is spilled on the range wipe
it at once to prevent staining.
Note: Red appliances only - a red wax coating has been added for preparation purposes which
may wear off during cleaning - this is normal and does not affect finished product.
