BRAND NAMES
The use of brand names is intended
only to indicate a type of cleaner.
This does not constitute an
endorsement. The omission of any
brand name cleaner does not imply
its adequacy or inadequacy. Many
products are regional in distribution
and can be found in the local markets.
It is imperative that all products be
used in strict accordance with
instructions on the package.
The following chart gives directions
for cleaning this range:
WHEN
CLEANING
THIS
RANGE:
1. Use the mildest cleaning procedure that
will do the job efficiently and effectively. Some cleaners of the same type
are harsher than others. Try on a small area first.
2. Always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines for maximum
effectiveness and to avoid marring the surface.
3. Use only clean soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, fibrous brushes, plastic,
non-metal or steel wool soap pads for cleaning and scouring, as
recommended on the chart.
4. Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot sudsy water. When
rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
