BACKGUARD
This is made of stainless steel. Use the mildest cleaning procedure first.Hot soapy water,rinse and dry.
If the panel has food soil remaining,try a general kitchen cleaner,such as Fantastik®,Simple Green® or
Formula 409®. For hard to clean soil use a stainless steel cleaner such as, Bon-Ami, Cameo®, or Bar
Keepers Friend. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in
the direction of the grain. Do not use a steel wool pad, it will scratch the surface. To touch up
noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper, rubbing in
the direction of the grain. After cleaning use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®. If
the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is possible for the vertical stainless steel panel to
discolor from the burner heat. This discoloration can be removed by using Revere Ware Stainless Steel
Cleaner.
OVEN AND DOOR INTERIOR
If in the event the oven door comes off track,or becomes
misaligned, realignment can be achieved by following
this simple procedure: Open the door and hold it all the
way open.Close the hinge latches (see fig.16).Once both
hinges are locked, gently lift the door up and partially
out until the door is evenly aligned. Evenly slide the door
back into place and check to assure the hinges rest in the
center of each door hinge roller. With the oven door fully
open,unlock hinge latches and the door is ready to close
again. Be sure the oven and door are cool before you
start to clean them. They are matte porcelain enamel. It
is acid resistant,but not acid proof. Therefore,acid foods,
such as vinegar, rhubarb, alcohol, citric juices or milk,
should be wiped and not allowed to bake on. Try mild
cleaners, such as: Bon-Ami, ammonia or ammonia and
water or Soft Scrub. Apply the powders on a damp
sponge or cloth. Rub lightly. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
If food has burned onto the oven and is difficult to
remove, soak the spots with a cloth saturated with
household ammonia. Allow it to soak for an hour or two,
with the door closed. The food soil should be easy to
remove with a damp soapy cloth or mild abrasive. A
solution of 3 tablespoons ammonia in a 1/2 cup of water
may be placed in a warm (not hot) oven over night. This
loosens the spills and hardened residue so they are easily wiped up with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
For stubborn stains a soap filled steel wool pad can be used. The occasional use of abrasive cleaners is
okay, if used too often or vigorously they can eventually harm the enamel. Dampen the pad, rub the
surface lightly, rinse thoroughly and dry. Commercial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off® or Dow® can be
used on the oven interior. Follow the manufacturer’s directions. Commercial oven cleaners are
corrosive to the thermostat bulb and infrared broiler burner. Do not spray or wipe this type cleaner
onto the oven thermostat bulb or broiler burner. If some cleaner gets onto the bulb or broiler burner,
wipe it off immediately with a clean damp cloth.
