panels, Do
not
use spray type oven cleaners. Overspray will damage nearby painted surfaces and
heating elements, Use several layers of newspaper and masking tape to cover surfaces such as the
backguard, control panel, range sides, countertops, etc. Remove cooktop elements (except solid
disk elements), burner bowls, grates, etc. Apply the atype oven cleaner evenly to the entire top
surface, The entire top must be cleaned to keep the finish consistent in color. Use
extreme caution
to prevent the oven cleaner from coming in contact with any other surface. Let the cleaner remain
on the top for 20-30 minutes. Rinse the top well to
remove every trace
of oven cleaner. Dry the top
