CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
CLEANING IGNITERS
Wipe with a water-dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the igniter. (See illustration).
CLEANING CONTROL KNOBS - RANGETOP AND OVEN
These are made of die-cast metal with plastic inserts for easier gripping. They can be cleaned in hot, soapy water.
To remove the Knobs from the control panel, grasp the knob and pull straight forward.
Wash, do not soak. Rinse and dry thoroughly. It is important to replace these knobs on the correct gas valve on the
control panel.
CLEANING LOW BACK, OR HIGH SHELF (IF INSTALLED)
Depending on the model, these are constructed of all stainless steel. Use the mildest cleaning procedure first— hot
soapy water, rinse and dry. If the panel has food soil remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastic,
Simple Green®, or Formula 409.
For hard to clean soil use a stainless steel cleaner such as, Bon-Ami®,, Carneo®,, or Bar Keepers Friend.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain. Do not
use a steel wool pad, it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very
lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper, rubbing in the direction of the grain. After cleaning use a stainless steel polish,
such as Stainless Steel Magic.
NOTE: If the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is possible for the vertical stainless steel panel to discolor
from the burner heat. This discoloration can be removed by using Revere Ware Stainless Steel Cleaner.
CLEANING OVEN AND DOOR INTERIOR
If in the event the oven door comes off track, or becomes misaligned, realignment can be achieved by following this
simple procedure:
Open the door and hold it all the way open. Close the hinge latches. Once both hinges are locked, gently lift the door
up and partially out until the door is evenly aligned. Evenly slide the door back into place and check to assure the
hinges rest in the center of each door hinge roller. With the oven door fully open, unlock hinge latches and the door is
ready to close again. Call our service technician if you encounter difficulty.
Be sure the oven and door are cool before you start to clean them. They are porcelain enamel coated. It is acid
resistant, but not acid proof. Therefore, acid foods, such as vinegar, rhubarb, alcohol, citric juices or milk, should be
wiped off and not allowed to bake on.
Try mild cleaners, such as: Bon-Ami®, Ammonia, Ammonia and water, or Soft Scrub®. Apply the cleaner on a damp
sponge or cloth. Rub lightly. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If food has burned onto the oven and is difficult to remove, soak
the spots with a cloth saturated with household ammonia. Allow it to soak for an hour or two, with the door closed. The
food soil should be easy to remove with a damp soapy cloth or mild abrasive.
CLEANING OVEN RACKS AND ROLLERS
The oven racks and rollers are chrome plated steel.
Chrome cleaners, such as Soft Scrub, Cameo or Bar Keepers Friend can be applied with a damp sponge following
package directions. Rinse and dry. Powdered cleaners such as Bon-Ami® or Comet are applied with a damp sponge
or cloth, rubbed lightly, rinsed and dried. Harsh Cleaners which are commercial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off® or
Dow can be used on the racks. However, some commercial oven cleaner's cause darkening and discoloration. Test
the cleaner on a small part of the rack and check for any discoloration before cleaning the entire rack. Allow to stand
for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CLEANING FRAMES, SIDES, DOOR EXTERIOR, HEAT DEFLECTOR
These parts are made of stainless steel, follow the directions for the Backguard.
Take care when cleaning the door top. Do not let water or cleaners run down the vents. If water or cleaners spill into
the vents, they may streak the glass inside the door.
CLEANING THE OVEN CONTROL SWITCH PANEL
Do not use abrasive cleaners which can scratch the display window and button panel
Clean by wiping with a mild household cleaner sprayed on a soft cloth or towel.
