Important:
Before any operation of cleaning and maintenance disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply.
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially for cleaning the enameled parts.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces. Avoid using
cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
The oven must always be cleaned after every use, using suitable products and keeping in mind
that its operation for 30 minutes on the highest temperature eliminates most grime reducing it to
ashes.
Always keep cleaning materials and chemicals in a safe place and away from children. Know what
you are using. Make sure all parts of the range are COOL before cleaning. Be sure to replace the
parts correctly.
Cooktop
Use a sponge and a commercial cooktop cleaner like Wisemen Cooktop Cleaner. for best
results. For heavier grease and residue a plastic scraper could be used along with this products
application instructions.
Knobs
Pull forward on the knobs to remove them. Wash in a water solution with a mild detergent mix. Do
not use an abrasive cleaner or any abrasive action. Abrasive action will scratch the knobs.
If the knobs become loose on the valve stem, spread the valve stem slightly with a small
screwdriver.
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 sensing 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 surfaces other than
the oven interior.
Stainless Steel Elements
The stainless steel finish can be cleaned with detergent and warm water or a stainless steel
cleaner.
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.
