To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface
of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming
dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of
acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods
with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if
allowed to set.
When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For
other spills such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with
soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then
rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on
the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can
use aluminum foil if you do not cover the
shelf.
This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie
or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as
milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar
or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up
immediately. Take care not to touch hot portion of
