Using Commercial Oven Cleaners
Commercial oven cleaners may be used on porcelain lined ovens; however, many
cleaners are very strong, and it’s essential to follow instructions carefully. Be sure to
wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.
After using such cleaners, thoroughly rinse the oven with a solution of 1 tablespoon
vinegar to 1 cup of water. Oven cleaners can coat or damage the thermostat sens-
ing device (the long tube in the oven) so that it will not respond to temperature
accurately. If you use an oven cleaner, do not let it contact the sensing bulb, or any
chrome, aluminum, or plastic part of the range.
Do not apply or allow the cleaner to come in contact with any parts or surfac-
es other than the oven interior.
Grates, Main Tops, Surface Burners
The grates are made of porcelain coated steel. These materials can be cleaned at
the sink with detergent or soap-filled scouring pads. Do not be alarmed when the
grate loses its shiny finish. The heat from the burners will cause the grates to lose
their shiny finish.
Clean the burner with soap and water, rinse thoroughly and dry completely before
reassembling. Burner heads can be dried in the oven at about 350 degrees Fahren-
heit or in the dishwasher on the dry cycle. After adjustment or cleaning, replace all
parts to their original position.
Stainless Steel Elements
The stainless steel finish top can be cleaned with detergent and warm water.
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth
or with a chamois leather.
For difficult grime, use a commercially available, non-abrasive product for cleaning
stainless steel surfaces, or a little hot vinegar.
Note:
regular use could cause discoloring around the burners, because of the high
flame temperature.
Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric condi-
tions can create an oxidation reaction on the underside of the top. This will appear
as rust or in the form of a reddish brown deposit. This will NOT AFFECT THE LIFE
OF THE TOP in comparison to the general life expectancy of the range itself. It is
very important that the burner be dry before replacing it in the range. A wet burner
will not allow the gas to ignite properly. This could result in a build-up of gas which
could result in an explosion or fire.
