CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CONTROL KNOBS - COOKTOP AND OVEN
These are plastic and can be cleaned in hot,soapy water. To remove the knobs from the control panel,
grasp the knob and pull straight back towards you and away from the control panel. Wash, do not
soak. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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.
