Recommended cleaners
Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve good
results for normal cleaning. Diluted washes with ammonia and water should rinse away any
adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (in small amounts)
is also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based products (eg: methylated spirits, etc.)
are not recommended. Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive
qualities, can be used in small amounts to break down greasy deposits and dirt. After cleaning
make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner
residues, and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE:
When cleaning stainless steel surfaces,
Porter&Charles
recommends 3M brand or Advance
stainless steel cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning
stainless steel may also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any
kind. The abrasive qualities of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel
and any residual metal fibers may corrode, causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with
abrasive qualities are also not recommended.
WARNING:
Do not use any acid or caustic cleansers or abrasive powders or scourers on the interior
or exterior of the appliance.
Routine cleaning
Ensure all controls are in the off position and the appliance is cool before cleaning. When wiping
stainless steel surfaces with a brushed finish, wipe in the same direction as the brushed finish.
To clean the oven interior, fully open or remove the door(s) for better access while cleaning. The
shelves and shelf guides can be lifted out for cleaning by removing the relevant thumb screws.
The shelves and shelf guides can be washed by hand, but are also dishwasher safe.
If using commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid contact with elements, rubber door seals, and exterior
surfaces.
After cleaning, make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry with a clean, soft
cloth.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
DO NOT USE A PORTABLE STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THE OVEN.
