CLEANING THE RANGE
Always keep cleaning materials and chemicals in a safe place and away from children.
Know what you are using. Make sure all parts of the range are COOL before cleaning. Be
sure to replace the parts correctly.
Using Commercial Oven Cleaners
Commercial oven cleaners may be used on porcelain lined ovens; however, many cleaners
are very strong, and it’s essential to follow instructions carefully.
Oven cleaners can coat or damage the thermostat sensing device (the long tube in the
oven) so that is will not respond to temperature accurately. If you use an oven cleaner, do
not let it contact the sensing bulb, or any chrome, aluminum, or plastic part of the range.
Do not apply or allow the cleaner to come in contact with any parts or surfaces other
than the oven interior.
Do not use harsh cleaners or degreasers on or around functional parts. This will damage
or drastically reduce the life of the part.
After using such cleaners, thoroughly rinse the oven with a solution of 1 tablespoon
vinegar to 1 cup of water.
Use only a mild solution of soap and water on backguards, aluminum control panels
and painted surfaces. Never use harsh abrasives or cleaning powders that may scratch or
mar the surface. Make sure the cleaners and cleaning materials are suitable for use on the
area to be cleaned. Always keep cleaning materials in a safe place.
Knobs
Pull forward on the knobs to remove them. Wash in a water solution with a mild detergent
mix. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or any abrasive action. Abrasive action will scratch
away the knob markings.
If the knobs become loose on the stem, spread the spring slightly with a small screwdriver.
Tops
The porcelain nish top can be cleaned with detergent and warm water. A mild glass wax
can be used to shine the top.
Range tops nished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean after each use. Clean with
a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a mild detergent and water. Then,
wipe dry with a soft cloth.
A thin coating of vegetable oil should be applied periodically to the chrome top surface
and underside. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the chrome surface.
