Exterior Cleaning
Clean range after each use to prevent sticky grease built-up and spills from cooking on. Wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. Wipe
with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool, cleaners containing ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners on any exterior parts of the range, except
the porcelain enamel cooktop. If a metal cleaner or polish is used on metal trim, be sure the label specifies that it is safe for use on chrome
and aluminium.

Control knobs

water or other mild household cleaners.
Sometimes, applying few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning/polishing creme (with silicone) will
remove any remaining soil and will leave a protective coating wich will keep your range looking like new.
Cooktop cleaning/polishing creme can be purchased through authorized service centers or major
department stores.
