Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal
and may crack or chip with misuse. It is acid
resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers, es-
pecially 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
cracking or chipping.
➢ Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or
caustic cleaning agents on exterior fin-
ish of range.
OVEN DOOR(S
)
➢
Do not place excessive weight on or
stand on an open oven door. This could
cause the range to tip over, break the
door, or injure the user.
➢
Do not attempt to open or close door or
operate oven until door is properly re-
placed.
➢
Never place fingers between hinge and
front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring
mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge
will slam shut against oven frame and
could injure your fingers.
