Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal. It may crack or chip with
misuse. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spil-
lovers, especially acid or sugar spillovers, should be wiped up im-
mediately with a dry cloth. Surface may discolor or dull if soil, espe-
cially acid soil, is not removed. Never wipe off a warm or hot surface
with a damp cloth. This may cause cracking and chipping. Never use
oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on exterior finish
of range or in the self-clean oven.
Elements are self-cleaning. Soil will burn off as elements are used.
Do not spray oven cleaner on elements, electrical hook up or connec-
tion. Do not immerse coil-type surface elements in water.
Be sure all parts are cool before cleaning.
Be sure all parts are properly replaced after cleaning.
