care and maintenance
BURNER BASE AND CAP:
Use hot, sudsy water and dry thoroughly.
Acidic and sugar laden spills deteriorate the stainless
steel. Remove soil immediately!
CONTROL KNOBS/ BEZELS:
Use hot sudsy water, rinse and dry immediately.
DO NOT soak knobs
DO NOT force knobs onto wrong valve shaft.
EXTERIOR FINISH/Stainless Steel:
Use non-abrasive cleaners: Hot water and detergent,
ammonia, sudsy water. Rinse and dry immediately.
For HARD WATER SPOTS, try household vinegar
Note:
Stainless steel resists most food stains
and pit marks providing the surface is kept
clean and protected.
NEVER allow food stains to remain on stainless
steel for any length of time.
ALWAYS RUB LIGHTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE
GRAIN AND NEVER CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES IN A CIRCULAR MOTION.
Note:
Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleaners
are corrosive to stainless steel. ALWAYS check
ingredients on label.
Always use non-abrasive cleaners on porcelain
enameled parts such as grates. Use hot water and mild
detergent. Rinse and dry immediately. For stubborn
stains, use soap filled steel wool pad.
The grates are heavy: use care when lifting. Always
place grates on a protected surface.
Over time you will see the enamel blistering or crazing
due to the extreme temperatures on the grate fingers and
rapid temperature changes.
Acidic and sugar laden foods deteriorate the enamel.
Remove soil immediately.
Abrasive cleaners used too vigorously or too often can
eventually mar the enamel.
NEVER flood a hot griddle with cold water. This will
cause steam and may result in steam burns.
DO NOT clean any part of the griddle in a
self-cleaning oven.
If food particles stick to the griddle plate, remove
with a mild abrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrub.
Clean griddle plate with a hot sudsy water.
Use hot sudsy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT clean the drip pan in a self cleaning oven!
After grease removal, drip pan may be put
into a dishwasher.
Use a cotton swab dampened with water,
Formula 409, or Fantastic.
DO NOT use sharp tools to scrape the igniter; it is
fragile and if damaged the burner cannot be lit.
Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, but not acid proof!
Acidic foods containing citric juices, tomatoes,
rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol, or milk should be wiped up
and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain during next
use. Over a period of time, the porcelain may craze
(get fine, hairline cracks).
If food has burned onto the porcelain enamel
oven and is difficult to remove, the spots can be
soaked with a cloth saturated with household
ammonia. Close the door and allow it to soak for
an hour or two, or until the food soil can be easily
removed with a damp soapy cloth, or mild abrasive. A
solution of about 3 tablespoons of household ammonia
in a half cup of water may be placed in the warm oven
overnight. This will loosen hardened residue and
spillage so that it may be easily wiped up. The
ammonia solution may be added to warm water
for a thorough wiping of the oven.
