CLEANING
Do not use Dawn dish detergent to clean the exterior or interior components of the range.
Do not use scouring powder. It is extremely difficult to remove completely. It can build up accumulations
that will damage the oven.
Vulcan painted surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild detergent solution.
RANGES
Daily
Remove nickel-plated racks and clean in a sink.
While still warm, wipe top with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove spillovers,
grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the hot top range looks unsightly and slows down
cooking speed because it reduces the flow of heat to the utensil.
Clean oven and oven door daily, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauces were baked, meats roasted,
and if there have been spillovers.
After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be
cleared by setting the thermostat at 500°F (260°C) and allowing the oven to operate unloaded for 30
to 45 minutes.
Empty the broiler grease pan/trough daily or as often as necessary.
CAUTION: Remove the grease
pan/trough slowly and be careful of liquid wave action.
It is recommended that the grease pan/
trough be emptied whenever it is

filled. The drip shield, grids and grease pan/trough should be
washed with a mild grease-dissolving solution. Some chefs scrape the grid with a three-cornered metal
scraper. Scrub the broiler chamber and body front frequently and you will have less smoking.
Clean cast iron open top grates with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a
clean, water-absorbent towel. Immediately after drying (with grates still removed from the range top),
season grates lightly with liquid vegetable or Pam spray-type cooking oil.
After seasoning, replace grates onto the range. Turn all open top sections ON LOW and allow them to
burn for at least 15 minutes before using pots or pans on the range top.
Season the open top grates after each cleaning. Failure to season grates will cause grates to rust.
Weekly
Boil burners in a solution of washing soda. Rinse and dry parts thoroughly. Flash rusting may occur.
This is a normal condition and will not affect the performance or the product prepared.
When reinstalling the burner back onto the range, be sure the burner heads are properly connected.
Do not light the pilot or turn burner valve ON with the burner head removed.
