CLEANING
Stainless Steel
All stainless steel parts should be cleaned regularly with hot, soapy water or any other neutral, non-abrasive detergent
at the end of each cooling period.
Wipe up any spills immediately.
When soapy water will not do the job, special-purpose products made just for stainless steel can be purchased at your
local hardware store or kitchen store.
Do not use steel wool pads, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleaners or powders to clean. Do not use a metal knife, spatula,
or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
Do not permit citrus or tomato juice or forms of brine (concentrations of salt, sauerkraut, etc.) to remain on the stainless
steel surface, as citric acid or anything acidic will cause corrosion (pitting) and permanently discolor stainless steel.
Caution:
Do NOT use any chlorinated cleansers (bleach of any kind) or ammonia to clean the stainless steel, as it will
permanently discolor stainless steel.
Oven
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the oven walls. Special oven cleaning products may be used but should be kept away from
the electrical elements, thermal probes, rubber gasket/seals, and hinges. You may remove the oven door gasket when using
any oven cleaning products.
Be sure to remove all residues from surfaces after using any cleaning products.
Clean the rear cover(s) (electric oven or fan-assisted oven) to ensure that the cooling louvers are not blocked with deposits.
After cleaning, before use, make sure that the base is properly mounted at rear and slid forward and fitted under the front
edge of the oven in order to avoid deformation of the base due to heat. (The bottom base enamel panel has a slight torsional
twist designed into it and will not lay flat when loose or removed – this is on purpose – it will be in compression when
fitted properly).
Enameled Surfaces
Use a sponge soaked in soapy water or a degreasing product applied with a soft cloth.
Never use any abrasives and avoid excessive or harsh rubbing when cleaning which can leave permanent marks on the
enamel.
Caution:
Do NOT allow any metal, cast iron, or brass polish/cleaners (Brasso, Copper Brite, Flitz, etc.) to come in contact
with any enameled surfaces. The chemicals will cause permanent damage to the enameled finish.
BEFORE ANY CLEANING WORK, CLOSE THE GAS SUPPLY AND/OR ISOLATE
FROM THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
