Porcelain and Painted Enamel
Keeping it clean
The porcelain and painted enamel is very serviceable and simple to clean, but because
it is glass, it will not withstand rough handling or abuse. Avoid extreme variance of
temperatures on porcelain. Porcelain is glass and sudden changes in temperature may
cause cracking. To clean porcelain surfaces, use warm, soapy water, glass cleaner or
non abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
If any acid based food or liquid, such as lemon juice or tomato juice, is spilled on the
range, wipe it at once to prevent staining.
Note: Red appliances only - a red wax coating has been added for preparation purposes
which may wear off during cleaning - this is normal and does not affect
product.
Oven & Warming Drawer Cleaning
Standard Oven/Warming Drawer (non self clean)
Your range must be kept clean and free of accumulations of grease or spillovers which
may ignite. This is most important in the oven compartment. When cleaning the oven or
warming drawer, make sure it is turned “Off” and is cool. For simple spills, clean with a
strong solution of detergent, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry.
When food or grease has burned on the lining, apply a strong oven cleaning compound.
Follow directions on the package, but avoid applying a strong cleaner to the front
or sides of end panels because it may destroy the door seals or plated surfaces. Under no
circumstances should an oven cleaner be used in a hot oven or warming drawer.
Oven racks, oven rack supports, broiler pan rack, oven bottoms, and broiler pan are all
removable for easy cleaning. The warming drawer is also removable for easier cleaning (see
page 41 for warming drawer removal instructions). Oven racks may be cleaned in your
sink with dish cloth and detergent. If spillage has remained on the racks for an extended
period, more vigorous cleaning with a steel wool soap pad may be required.
Self Clean Oven
Self Cleaning requires the use of the clock timer. Read the instructions below and the
appropriate timer instructions before attempting to operate. After the self clean cycle is
completed, the shiny lustre of the oven cavity may diminish in some areas, this is not
uncommon and it does not affect the operation or performance of the range
1. Remove cookware from the oven. We recommend that the oven racks also be removed.
If they are left in the oven, the racks will become discoloured and rough after cleaning,
but it will not affect the protective coating. Wiping the racks down with a bit of vegetable
oil can help with the ease of sliding the racks in and out.
2. Remove any items from the warming drawer(as well as the side storage area and
utensil drawer in the 48" models). This includes utensils with plastic parts that can become
overheated and melt.
