CARE AND CLEANING
It is always easier to clean as you go – and while some evenings you’d rather sit down with a good book instead of a Scrubbie,
keeping your range cook top and oven in a ready to go state for the next meal makes everything a little more tolerable.

0 Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot, sudsy water. When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
0 Always wipe dry immediately to reduce the appearance of water marks.
TO CLEAN THE COOK TOP
The cook top is brushed Stainless Steel with polished aluminum burner heads. The burner caps are steel coated porcelain.
0 Do not use abrasives on Stainless Steel. Use towels, sponges or soft plastic scrubbers. RUB ONLY WITH THE "GRAIN".
0 Do not use steel wool pads or green rough Scrubee’s.
0 Wash all cooking surfaces with hot water and dish detergent such as Simple Green, Ivory Liquid, or Joy.
0 Rub stubborn spots with baking soda or liquid cleaner such as Windex All Surface Cleaner or 409.
0 Grates and burner caps can be soaked in hot soapy water. Mild scouring cleaners can be used, such as Bon Ami or Cameo
on grates and burner caps.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN
The oven cavity is porcelainized with steel rack guides and racks. The infrared broiler does not need to be cleaned. Any soil is
burned off by the intense heat.

process softens the soil for easier removal.
0 Wash the interior of the oven with soap and water. Make a paste with baking soda and water and using a sponge or nylon
pad rub away stubborn stains.
0 Use mild scrubbing compounds such as Bon Ami or Cameo if necessary.
0 Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
0 If necessary, spray oven cleaner can be used. DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR UP
