cookware are suitable for use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.
WARNING
Never leave surface burners unattended. Boilovers cause smoke and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the appliance or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked
from the burner and cause combustion problems.
• Always use a proper flame size. Adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the pot/pan. The use of undersized pots/pans will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Adjusting the flame
size to appropriate levels will also improve efficiency.
• Always use proper pot/pan and cookware sizes. This appliance is equipped with
surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit.
• SDR48 series ranges come with a reversible cast iron griddle that can be placed vertically

• For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for gas combustion must
be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through
openings in the outside walls.
• These openings must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside or outside,
and not be constructed close to the floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side
opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged.
• The appliance should be located for convenient use in the kitchen; recessed installations
must provide complete enclosure of the sides and rear of the range.
• To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching overheated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the range should be avoided. This risk can be further reduced by
installing a range hood or microwave hood combination that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• If a range hood is installed with appropriate ducting, maintain a 30" (762 mm) minimum
clearance between the cooking surface and bottom of the hood.
• Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the appliance when possible. If cabinetry is used
above the cooking surface, use cabinets no more than 13" (330 mm) deep.
• Contact a service technician and/or a qualified floor covering installer to check that
wall coverings, countertops, and cabinets located around the appliance can withstand
at least 200 °F (93 °C).

• DO NOT place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• DO NOT store cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the appliance.
DANGER
Never leave burners unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoke and
greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH AN OIL/GREASE FIRE WITH WATER.
• If a grease fire occurs, never touch a flaming pan. Immediately turn the controls off. Smother
a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray.
• A grease fire can also be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Flames inside the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning
controls to OFF, or by using a fire extinguisher.
• Allow the burner grates and other surfaces to completely cool before touching them.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• NEVER block the vents (air holes) of the appliance. They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the appliance to operate properly with correct combustion.
• Gas leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions; always consult a qualified technician.
• Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer,
according to instructions explained in the Installation Manual. Any adjustment and service
should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.
• To prevent poor air circulation, place the appliance out of kitchen traffic path and out of
drafty locations.

Surface Burner Operation
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SURFACE BURNER SAFETY
WARNING
• If a cooktop burner flame goes out, gas will continue to flow to the burner until the knob
is turned to the OFF position.
• NEVER leave the surface burners unattended, especially at high flame settings.
• DO NOT use pots/pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that are large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure
cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food that could ignite.
• Pot/pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage, handles of pots
and pans should be positioned so that they are turned inward and do not extend over
adjacent surface burners.
• Always turn burner knobs to the HI position when igniting the top burners and make sure
the burners have ignited before adjusting flame sizes.
• Use only dry pot holders or oven mitts—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. DO NOT let pot holders come near open flames when lifting
cookware. DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
• Do not use stove top grills or griddles on your gas appliance. If you use a stove top grill
on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous
to your health.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
cookware are suitable for use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
WARNING
NEVER place any items on the cooktop or the back splash of the range. Hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in
closed containers, which may cause them to burst and increase risk of injury.
15
Cooking Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
COOKING SAFETY
WARNING
Before cooking in your new range, we recommend setting the oven to 400 °F (200 °C) for
1 hour, then setting the oven to broil for 1 hour. For SDR48 models, do the same for both the
large and small ovens. There may be a smell and/or smoke —this is normal when the range
is first heated as manufacturing oils burn off. Ensure the room where the range is installed is
well ventilated by keeping air intakes open and/or by operating a range hood above the
unit. After the oven cools, wipe it out with hot water and a kitchen-safe cleaner. We also
recommend cleaning the racks and shelves before use.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting, and always heat fat slowly.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together before heating, and use a deep fat
thermometer if possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• NEVER cook foods directly on the flame without a pot or pan; use proper cookware.
• DO NOT use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which
may damage the burner grate and burner ring. It also may cause abnormal carbon
monoxide levels, potentially resulting in a health hazard.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot
fat to bubble up and spill over the sides of the pan.
• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until fully cool.
• DO NOT place plastic items on the cooktop; they may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
• To prevent burns, always be sure burner knobs are in the OFF position and all grates are
cool before attempting to remove them.
DANGER
If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas to the appliance and call a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

CookTop Safety
OPERATION
• Always turn burner knobs to the OFF position before removing cookware.
• DO NOT lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation
of the appliance.
• If the appliance is located near a window, DO NOT hang long curtains that could blow
over the surface burners and catch on fire.
• DO NOT operate burners for any period of time without cookware on the grate. The
finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
GUIDELINES FOR USING SURFACE BURNERS
• SDR series ranges operate using electric ignition; all burners have a special auto re-
ignition feature. Burners will relight if the flame goes out suddenly due to a wind gust or
other reason. The auto re-ignition feature will automatically detect the loss of flame and
reignite the burner if gas is still flowing.
• When pushing in one burner knob, sparking will occur on all surface burners, but only the
burner activated will receive gas flow. This is a perfectly normal feature for gas cooktops
for all burners to spark at once when igniting a burner.
• Keep all burners clean. Especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter and notches
of the burner spread, stopping the burner from functioning correctly.
• Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with little to no yellow
tipping, and burn without fluttering all around the burner cap.
Scan to follow along with a video.
19
Flame Adjustment
OPERATION
MANUAL FLAME ADJUSTMENT
• Each range includes a flame adjustment feature if burners
experience irregular flame sizes or are too yellow or
orange in color. Ranges are designed to ensure flames
are set at appropriate levels. Should an adjustment be
needed, follow these steps:
• Light one burner at a time and set it to the lowest position.
Next, remove the knob by firmly and carefully pulling it
straight out.
• Inside each burner is an adjustment valve. Using a 2 mm x
50 mm flathead screwdriver, locate the adjustment screw
(see diagram — the screw is on the right) and turn the
screwdriver to the right or left until the flame is adjusted to
the desired minimum. Use a flashlight if it’s difficult to see
the adjustment screw.
• Make sure the flame does not go out when switching
quickly from the HI to the LO position. NOTE: The high
flame setting cannot be adjusted to be lower.
• NOTE: For the dual burner knobs on all three models,
there are 2 screws to adjust if needed —1 for the inner
ring and 1 for the outer ring. These screws are located on
the left side of the adjustment valve.

SURFACE BURNER OPERATION
1. To activate electric ignition for surface burners, push in the knob for the burner you wish
to use release gas, as noted in the first image below.
2. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the “HI” position, as noted in the second
image below. The spark will be released at the metal electrode of the white ceramic
spark tip located on the side of the burner. Wait 0.5 to 2 seconds for ignition.
3. Once the burner lights, turn the control knob to adjust the desired heat. If the flame turns
off and does not auto re-ignite, turn the burner off and repeat the above procedure.
WARNING
Use care when utilizing the cooktop and oven knobs on your range. Turning
knobs too far beyond their highest setting — or turning too hard in the incorrect
clockwise motion — may permanently damage knobs.
USING THE BURNERS CORRECTLY
1. Always check that the burner caps are
properly installed before operation:
2. Verify that the flame of the range top burners
is completely blue and with a regular aspect
as shown at right:
3. Never let flames wrap around cookware;
this creates a safety hazard and can also
damage your cookware:
WARNING
DO NOT ignite burners if the black burner cap is not installed or not centered
on the burner spread; the flame will be irregular and may increase injury risk.

Surface Burners
OPERATION
SURFACE BURNER FLAME SIZE
• When adjusting burner knobs, do so slowly until reaching your preferred flame size.
• Cooktop flames should be steady and the color should always be blue, though flickers
of orange and yellow are acceptable.
• If flames appear orange/yellow and stay that way, check the surrounding area. Candles,
cleaning products, and other changes in atmosphere can affect flame color.
• If flame issues persist, and you had a professional technician conduct a liquid propane
gas conversion procedure, it may not have been performed properly. Check that all
orifices are correctly placed. If not, contact your installer. If using natural gas, contact
your local gas company to check for unforeseen issues.
WARNING
COMBUSTION SAFETY
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to several substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas fuel.
• Properly adjusted burners emitting clean blue flames will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or use
of a ventilation fan or range hood above the unit.
WARNING
When using the cooktop for the first time, burners may not ignite right away.
Time is required for gas to fully fill the operating system. In this instance, do not
keep burner knobs pushed in for longer than a few seconds.
POWER FAILURE
• If gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the knob and allow at least five minutes
for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure outlined on page 20.
• If electricity or power fails in your home, surface burners can still be lighted manually if
necessary. Simply hold a lighted match near a burner and turn the knob counterclockwise
to the “HI” setting. After the burner lights, remove the lit match and turn the knob to the
preferred setting. The oven will not operate without electricity.
23
COOKTOP MAINTENANCE
• To prevent the appliance from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and
wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the appliance has cooled.
• The sealed burners of your appliance are not secured to the cooktop and are designed
to be removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners
should be cleaned after each use.
• Before maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the appliance and allow cooling down.
For reasons of hygiene and safety, this appliance must always be kept clean.
• Take care when using cleaning products in spray form: never direct the spray onto the
electrical wiring, thermostat, and bulb.
• Any food or liquid spills on the cooktop — or on the sides or bottom of the oven — must
be cleaned up before cooking in order to avoid unpleasant smoke and/or the possibility
of fire. See the “Care and Maintenance” section for more information.
WARNING
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at
temperatures between 40 °F to 140 °F (4 °C to 60 °C) more than 2 hours.
Cooking raw foods below 275 °F (135 °C) is not recommended.
BURNER GRATES
• The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the
grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and poor combustion.
• Do not operate burners without appropriate pot/pans or cookware on the grates.
• Be sure to place cookware directly on the center of each grate in order to maximize
cooking efficiency; see below for more.

GRIDDLE OPERATION (SDR48 SERIES)
• Before first use, clean the cast iron griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove
dust or any protective coating. Rinse with clean water and wipe off to dry with soft,
clean, lint-free cloth.
• Place the griddle vertically (front to back) on top of any of the four burner grates until
it slides into place; do not position the griddle horizontally (left to right) across multiple
burner grates.
• To ensure even heating of the griddle, turn on the rear and front burners.
WARNING
The surface of the griddle may be hot for several minutes after use. Please
allow sufficient time for the griddle to cool prior to moving and cleaning.

LARGE OVEN KNOBSMALL OVEN KNOB
OVEN VENTS
• The oven vent is located under the back splash on the back of the oven. Do not block the
ducts in the oven vent when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow of hot air
from the oven and fresh air into the oven never be interrupted.
• Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces while the oven is on — they may
become hot, which increases the risk of injury.
• NOTE: It is normal for steam or moisture to dispel from the oven vent and collect on the
cooktop. This happens more often when baking foods that contain a lot of moisture.
Condensation is more common in colder months due to the cooktop being colder than
normal. Condensate water is a natural occurrence and is non-corrosive.
Oven Operation
26
Oven Features
OPERATION
WARNING
INTERIOR OVEN SAFETY
• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover entire oven racks
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
increase emittance of carbon monoxide.
• Aluminum foil may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use aluminum foil on any
porcelain surface within the oven wall. Doing so may irreparably damage the porcelain.
Use of aluminum foil on any part of the range may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
OVEN FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES
BAKE
• Natural airflow baking occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake
elements located in the bottom of the oven cavity, below the drip pan. Heat is then
circulated by natural airflow. This is a traditional bake setting.
• To activate, turn the oven on and choose a temperature between 150 °F to 500 °F
(65 °C to 260 °C). For SDR48, the small oven max bake temp is 450 °F (230 °C).
• NOTE: It typically takes 12–25 minutes to preheat to the desired temperature.
• To achieve optimal baking results, ZLINE recommends waiting until the oven is fully
preheated before placing food inside.
CONVECTION BAKE
• Heat is transferred from the bake elements in the bottom of the oven. The convection fan
in the rear of the oven then circulates the hot air, allowing for more even heat distribution
over and around the food. Convection cooking is faster, can be accomplished at lower
temperatures, and provides more even temperatures than regular cooking.
• To activate, turn the oven on, choose a temperature, then press the Convection button on
the front of the oven.
• NOTE: The SDR48 small oven does not have a Convection fan.
• To achieve optimal convection baking results, ZLINE recommends waiting until the oven
is fully preheated before placing food inside.
27
Using the Broiler
OPERATION
BROIL
• When broiling, heat radiates downward from the top heating element for even coverage
and fast cooking. Use the broil function to cook tender cuts of meat or to quickly crisp
foods or brown the top of already-cooked dishes.
• NOTE: The oven door (both doors for SDR48) must be closed during broiling.
WARNING
Carefully monitor food being cooked under the broiler, as this function works
quickly and can burn food within only a few minutes.
TO ACTIVATE THE BROILER:
1. Place the food on an oven-safe baking sheet or broiler pan.
2. Arrange the top oven rack in the location you desired and place the pan on the rack. Be
sure to center the pan and position directly under the broil burner. If preheating the broil
burner first, place the pan after the broil burner is preheated.
3. Turn the knob clockwise to Broil; the white indicator light will illuminate.
PREHEATING AND OTHER BROILING TIPS
• Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks and other meats. To preheat, turn the
oven knob to the “Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2
minutes. NOTE: Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat well-done.
• Remove oven pans or broiler pans from the oven before preheating the broiler, as foods
may stick on hot metal.
• The oven indicator light will remain on until the selector knob is turned to the OFF position
or the temperature control cycles off.
• Always pull the oven rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
• For optimal results, use a broiler pan (not provided) and insert together to allow dripping
grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Broil temperature is 500 °F (65 °C).
WARNING
If you choose to use a broiler pan, DO NOT use one without the insert. DO NOT
cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.

Oven Operation
OPERATION
OVEN COOKING
1. Use care when opening the oven door(s). Let hot air or steam escape before removing
or placing food.
2. DO NOT heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up may cause containers to
burst and result in injury.
3. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed at all times.
OVEN RACK PLACEMENT
• Ranges are equipped with 2 commercial grade telescoping (sliding) racks. Racks are
mounted on the appropriate guides situated on the sides of the oven compartment. The
SDR48 small oven also comes with 2 telescoping racks.
• Insert the shelves between the top and bottom guide in any of the 5 positions available.
To do so, slide out the racks to their full extensions, and then lift them up and out of the
sliding mechanisms.
• Use care during this process, as the sliding mechanisms may have sharp edges.
• Always place racks in the desired location while the oven is cool.
• When touching and sliding out oven racks to check on hot food, DO NOT let potholders
or oven mitts make contact with heating elements inside the oven.
• SDR30, SDR36, and SDR48 large oven racks are designed to support a minimum of 25
lb (11 kg). SDR48 small oven racks can support at least 15 lb (7 kg).
WARNING
Users should use caution with heavier food loads than those outlined above to
limit risk of injury and/or damage to your range.

Oven Operation
OPERATION
WARNING
HEATING ELEMENT AND DOOR SAFETY
• DO NOT CLEAN DOOR GASKETS. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OVEN CLEANERS. No commercial oven cleaner or liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Clean
only the parts listed in the manual; before cleaning the oven, remove oven racks and
clean separately.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
• In case of electric power failure, reset the oven knob controls to the OFF position and do
not attempt to use oven/ broiler until the power has been restored.
• During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials come
into contact with the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
• Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns, such as oven
vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and oven glass window.
• Take care to reset all cooktop/oven/broiler burner controls to the OFF position after use
of the appliance.
• It is normal for moisture to form between the oven door’s two glass panels, especially
when cooking or baking foods with a lot of moisture. The range is designed with vents
between the panes of glass; any moisture should dissipate within 12–24 hours.
• When using the range for the first time you may notice the following:
• There may be an odor. This is quite normal when the oven is first heated as residual
oil from production of parts will be burnt off quickly.
• There may be noises. This is also quite normal as new parts move and settle into
place during the initial heating process.

and right corners of the SDR30, SDR36, and SDR48 large oven,
unscrew the protection cap that projects out inside the oven. The
SDR48 small oven has 1 bulb.
NOTE: Touching bulbs with your fingers may cause them to burn out. We recommend using
protective gloves or a clean cloth for this process.
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
WARNING
Do not attempt any of the following cleaning methods until all burners are off
and the oven is completely cool. We also recommend disconnecting power
before cleaning the unit to limit risk of electric shock.
IMPORTANT: During cleaning, never use abrasive cleaners. Scratches on the stainless steel
surfaces are permanent. DO NOT clean the range when hot. Do not use Clorox bleach or
alcohol wipes to clean stainless steel. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
CONTROL KNOBS
• Use a damp soapy cloth for everyday cleaning of the knobs. For heavier cleaning for
grease, etc., apply a nonabrasive liquid detergent to a damp cloth.
• Use care not to rotate the knobs when cleaning to avoid the release of gas.
• For hard-to-reach stains, you can remove knobs by gripping them and carefully pulling
them straight out. Clean and dry knobs completely before replacing, using care to put
knobs on the correct valves where they were removed.
• Make sure knobs are completely dry before using the range.

Cleaning Your Range
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BURNER GRATES
• Cast iron grates should only be used in their proper positions. DO NOT operate a burner
for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate.
• Make sure grates are completely cool, then clean with hot water or white vinegar. DO
NOT place in a dishwasher.
• When replacing grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners.
• Note that grates have rubber pads on the feet that come into contact with the appliance
to avoid scratches. After cleaning, verify the rubber pads are still there. Should they
come off, they can be reapplied using a heat-resistant adhesive.
CAST IRON GRIDDLE (SDR48 MODEL ONLY)
• Regularly seasoning the griddle is recommended for optimal use.
• To clean, make sure the griddle is completely cool, then clean with hot water or white
vinegar. DO NOT place in a dishwasher. Re-season as necessary.
BURNER CAPS
• Lift off when fully cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. To remove burned-on food particles, gently scrub with a plastic scouring pad.
Thoroughly dry before returning the caps to the appliance.
• Do not use cleaners for stainless steel surfaces as these caps are not stainless steel.
BURNER SPREADS
• Lift off when fully cool. Wash in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Remove
food or debris between burner slots using a small non-abrasive brush like a toothbrush.
• We recommend cleaning the burner slots routinely with a small gauge wire or needle
and especially after bad spillovers that could clog these holes.
• Burner spreads and burner caps are NOT dishwasher safe.
STAINLESS STEEL
• To clean the stainless steel surface of the range, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow product
label instructions for cleaning stainless steel.
• DO NOT use a steel wool pad as it will scratch the surface. Do not use cleaners with
chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners.
• Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
34
Cleaning
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DOOR HANDLE
• Clean with a warm soap and water solution; dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers; they will permanently damage the finish.
OVEN GLASS
• Clean all glass surfaces with a warm soap and water solution. Use a mild glass cleaner
to remove fingerprint or smears. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
PORCELAIN SURFACES
• Clean the cooktop, oven interior, the drip pan at the bottom of the oven, and inner door
liners with a warm soap and water solution. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Never use
abrasive powders or liquids. Do not leave acid or alkaline substances on the porcelain
parts (such as vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato sauce, etc). Use a rubber spatula to
remove food and fat residues.
OVEN RACKS
• Clean oven racks with a warm soap and water solution. To clean heavy soil, use a
scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water.
OVEN FRAME
• Clean with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or kitchen-safe cleaners. Rinse well
with clean water and dry. DO NOT clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It’s imperative the gasket remains intact.
OVEN DOOR
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the door. Rinse
well. Use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleansing powders, of harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
• Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door. Any soap left on the
liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.
Acidic fluids such as tomato sauce or lemon juice should not be left on the
cooktop or oven interior for extended periods, as etching may occur. This type
of damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
