PANEL - PORCELAIN ENAMEL
Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and
may crack or chip with misuse. It is acid
resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers,
especially acidic or sugary spillovers, should
be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth.
• When cool, wash with soapy water, rinse
and dry.
• Never wipe off a warm or hot surface
with a damp cloth. This may cause crack-
ing or chipping.
• Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or
caustic cleaning agents on exterior finish
of range.
DRIP PANS - PORCELAIN
Porcelain may discolor or craze if over-
heated. This is normal and will not affect
cooking performance.
• When cool, wash after each use, rinse
and dry to prevent staining or discolora-
tion. May be washed in the dishwasher.
• To clean heavy soil, soak in hot sudsy
water, then use a mild abrasive cleaner
such as Soft Scrub* and a plastic scouring
pad.
• For burned on soil, remove from range,
place on newspapers and carefully spray
with commercial oven cleaner. (Do not
spray surrounding surfaces.) Place in plas-
tic bag and allow to soak several hours.

or Bon Ami*. Do not use abrasive clean-
ers such as steel wool pads or oven
cleaners. These products will scratch or
permanently damage the surface.
