Cleaning the appliance
⚠
CAUTION
Avoid cleaning any part of the range while it is hot.
• The porcelain enamel finish is acid resistant, but not
acid proof. Acidic foods, such as citrus juices,
tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be
wiped up and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain
during the next use.
• Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the
job efficiently and effectively. Some cleaners of the
same type are harsher than others. Try on a small
inconspicuous area first.
• Always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish
lines for maximum effectiveness and to avoid marring
the surface.
• Use only clean soft cloths, sponges, paper towels,
fibrous brushes, plastic, non-metal or steel wool soap
pads for cleaning and scouring, as recommended on
the chart.
• Most exterior parts of this appliance can be cleaned
with hot sudsy water (except the various items
specifically identified otherwise). When rinsing is
required, rinse thoroughly.
• Always wipe dry immediately to avoid water marks.
