MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Exterior Finish
Establish a regular cleaning schedule . Any spills should be
wiped off immediately .
The oven should be permitted to cool down before cleaning
exterior surfaces .
1 . Wipe exposed cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water . Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a lightweight non-metallic scouring pad .
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth .
2 . Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water . If necessary to use a non-
metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the
grain in the metal to prevent scratching . Use a water
based stainless cleaner if you want a high shine .
Stainless Steel
For routine cleaning just wash with hot water and detergent
solution . Wash just a small area at a time or the water will
evaporate leaving the chemicals behind causing streaking .
Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped in a
sanitizing solution and wipe dry with soft clean cloth before
it can dry .
Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring powder) if you
have to, but never rub against the grain . All stainless steel has
been polished in one direction . Rub with the polish lines to
preserve the original finish . Then thoroughly rinse as before .
To prevent fingerprints there are several stainless steel
polishes on the market the leave and oily waxy film . Do not
use on surfaces that will be in contact with food .
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated . These stains can
usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring
powder paste .
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools if necessary
to scrape off heavy deposits of grease and oil . Do not use
ordinary steel scrapers or knives, as particles of the iron may
become imbedded and rust . STEEL WOOL SHOULD NEVER BE
USED .
Oven Interior (Porcelain Enamel)
NOTE: Disconnect line cord (if applicable) from power
supply before cleaning or servicing .
1 . Before cleaning oven interior, remove all oven racks and
guides . Oven racks and guides can be cleaned with a mild
soap and warm water or run through a dishwasher .
2 . The porcelain interior can be cleaned with oven cleaners
such as “Easy-Off” or “Dow Oven Cleaner” . Follow product
manufacturer’s instructions for proper use .
Open Top Burners
Cleaning of the range top burner is a simple procedure, if
done at regular intervals will prolong the life of the range
and ensure good flame characteristics .
1 . The most common problem with open burner range is
spillage . Once the burner ports are partially plugged with
food, the air-to-gas mixture is disturbed and results in an
inefficient burner .
2 . Wipe any spills as they occur .
. Grids and trays should be removed daily, washed, rinsed
and dried thoroughly .
4 . Use a wire brush to clean the ports of the burners . Ignite
and check for clogged holes .
5 . If any clogged holes are apparent, the burner should be
lifted out and brushed inside and out with a small Venturi
brush . Each port on the burner itself should be cleaned
with a properly sized wire or thumb drill . Wash with soap
and hot water if grease is observed on the burners . Dry
thoroughly .
6 . Reinstall and check the flame pattern . Readjust the air
shutter if necessary .
7 . If a yellow flame appears around the edges instead of
being uniformly blue, it is usually a sign of grease and dirt
in the throat of the burner . Remove and clean the burner
and readjust the air shutter .
Cast Iron Top Grates
Cast iron top grate(s) can be cleaned with mild soap and
warm water . For baked on material, a wire brush can be used .
Dry thoroughly and lightly coat with vegetable oil to help
prevent rust from forming .
