GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Drain fat, cool pan and rack slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and rack stand in oven
to cool.) Sprinkle detergent on rack and pan. Fill pan with warm water and spread
cloth or paper towel over rack. Let pan and rack stand for a few minutes. Wash;
scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. OPTION: Clean pan and rack in dishwasher.
DO NOT CLEAN IN SELF-CLEANING OVEN.
Pull off knobs. Wash gently but do not soak. Dry and return controls to range,
making sure OVEN TEMP knob with BROIL goes next to OVEN SET knob.
Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy water. Rinse and polish with a dry
cloth. If knobs are removed, do not allow water to run down inside surface of glass.
Wash, rinse, and then polish with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids, or commercial oven cleaners which may damage the finish.
Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the enamel.
If acids should spill on the range while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.
For other spills, such as fat spattering% etc., wash with soap and water when
cooled and then rinse. Polish with a dry cloth.
Use a mild solution of soap and water, Do not use any harsh abrasives or cleaning
oowders which may scratch or mar surface.
Remove oven door (see page 16). Clean with soap and water and replace. DO
NOT place door under running water or immerse. Use same directions as for
Porcelain Enamel Lower Oven Interior below.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE UPPER OVEN DOOR.
Avoid getting ANY cleaning materials on the gasket.
Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild soap and water will prolong the
time between maior cleanings. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.
Shelves can be washed in dishwasher or cleaned by hand using soap and water.
Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap after cleaning. Shelves may also be cleaned
in self-cleaning oven, but may lose some luster and discolor.
Clean by hand or in dishwasher, DO NOT CLEAN IN SELF-CLEANING OVEN
as they will discolor. Wipe after each cooking so unnoticed spatter will not burn on
next time you cook. To remove burned-on spatters, use any or all cleaning materials
mentioned. Rub
lightly
with scouring pad to prevent scratching of the surface.
Lift out when cool. Soak 5 to 10 minutes if desired in warm solution of dishwasher
detergent. Scour with materials mentioned here to remove burned-on food
particles. DO NtYI CLEAN IN SELF-CLEANING OVEN.
Wipe off burner heads. If heavy spillover occurs, remove burners from range (see
page 15) and soak them for 20 to 30 minutes in solution of hot water and product
for cleaning inside of coffee makers, such as Dip-It brand. If soil does not rinse
off completely, scrub burners with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and
a damp cloth. Dry burners in a warm oven for 30 minutes before returning them to
the range. DO NOT CLEAN IN SELF-CLEANING OVEN.
Cool before cleaning.
If heavy soiling has occurred on the porous surface, remove as much of the soil as
possible using a small amount of water and a stiff bristle nylon brush. Use water
sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as clean as possible, and be sure to
blot it up with paper towels, cloths, or sponges.
Do not rub
or
scrub
with paper
towels, cloths or sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish. If
water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again and
blot
it
with a clean sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working toward the center.
For special cleaning instructions, see page 14.
The oven bottom panel can be removed for cleaning (see page 17). Use same
directions for cleaning as for Porcelain Enamel Lower Oven Interior above.
*Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration, so should be wiped up immediately (blotted up
if in Continuous-Cleaning oven.) Take care not to touch hot portion of oven. When surface is cool, clean and rinse. CAUTION: Light bulbs can get
warm enough to break if touched with moist cloth. When cleaning, avoid warm lamp.
