CARE AND CLEANING
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a warm detergent solution is generally enough to keep your oven
clean and beautiful. This is done when the range is cool. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to clean splatters
and spills when surfaces are warm.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL
Porcelain enamel is glass fused on steel at very high temperatures. It is not extremely delicate, but must be
treated as glass. Sharp blows, radical changes in temperature, etc., will cause the enamel to chip or crack.
Some foods contain acid which will dull the finish of enamel. Vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes, and milk are a
few. To avoid this happening, simply wipe surface clean immediately when any food is spilled on the
enamel. Remember, the surface is glass and must be given consideration in cleaning. Steel wool pads and
coarse gritty cleansing powders or chemical grease remover will do a good job and yet not harm the finish.
GLASS SURFACE
The extra large glass window is built to stay FOG – FREE. To keep it clean, just wipe with a moist, soft
cloth and dry.
CAUTION: Do not clean the window with water while the oven is warm. The glass is strong, but radical
heat changes or a sharp blow will crack it. Use care in cleaning.
NOTICE: When the unit is in operation, the outside surfaces will become hot and care must be taken to
avoid contact with panel surfaces. Handles and knobs will remain comfortable to the touch.
CHROME AND STAINLESS STEEL
The best way to clean metal surfaces on your range is to wipe them with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
Stubborn spots caused by spillage and discoloration from heat may be removed by the use of lemon juice,
vinegar, or chrome polish. Care must be used to keep these away from porcelain enamel surfaces.
NEVER use coarse cleansers, steel wool scouring pads or metal brushes to clean chrome. These will
make deep scratches on the chrome. The scratches cannot be removed.
USE OF ALUMINUM FOIL
IN THE OVEN – Do not use aluminum foil in your oven to cover racks or oven bottom.
IN THE BROILER – Aluminum foil may be used to line the bottom part of the two-piece broiler pan, but if
foil is placed over the slotted broiler tray, care must be taken to slit the foil at each slot so that drippings
and excess grease can drain in the pan below.
INSIDE OVEN AND BROILER
Racks and broiler pan may be removed and cleaned in your sink with other cooking utensils. The inside
surfaces of the oven is porcelain enamel and should be cleaned by the method given in the enamel
section.
The Capillary Tube in the oven is not removable. This senses oven temperature and is perhaps the most
fragile part of your range. Be sure to gently wipe off this tube after using an oven spray cleaner, the cleaner
can “build up” on the tube and may cause a false temperature reading.
