Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal. It may crack or chip with mis-
use. Clean with soap and water when parts are cool. All spillovers, espe-
cially acid or sugar spillovers, should be wiped up immediately with a dry
cloth. Surface may discolor or dull if soil is not removed. When surface is
cool, clean with warm soapy water. NEVER WIPE OFF A WARM OR
HOT ENAMEL 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.
Elements are self-cleaning. Soil will burn off as elements are used. Do
not spray oven cleaner on elements, electrical hook up or connection.
Be sure all parts are cool before cleaning.
Be sure all parts are properly replaced after cleaning.
