General Directions
Cool before cleaning. Frequent cleaning with soap and water,
and non-abrasive pad prolongs time between deep cleanings. Be
sure to dry thoroughly.
Place burner caps and grates in plastic bag with ½ cup ammonia.
Do not pour ammonia into bag. Ammonia must remain in cup. To
avoid rust, do not soak grates in ammonia. Close bag tightly and
leave grate and caps overnight. Before bag is opened turn face
away to avoid breathing or eye contact with fumes. Remove
burner caps and grates from bag and rinse. Clean according to
instructions above.
Cool before cleaning. Clean burner base with warm soapy water
and a clean cloth. If ports in burner base are clogged, clean with
toothbrush or straight pin. Do not use toothpick. After cleaning
replace burner caps and turn on burners to check for proper
operation. See Operating Surface Burners section for burner
operating instructions.
Drain fat, cool pan and grid slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and
grid stand in oven to cool.) Sprinkle with soap. Fill the pan with
warm water. Let pan and grid stand for a few minutes. Wash or
scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and grid may
also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Pull off knobs. Wash gently but do not soak. Dry and return
controls to oven, making sure to match flat area on the knob to
the flat area on shaft.
Clean the outside of the door and the window area with warm
soapy water. Do not clean the oven door gasket. Gasket should
not be moved while cleaning. Avoid getting any cleaning
materials on gasket.
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 while cleaning.
Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild soap and water
prolongs time between thorough cleanings. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly. For baked on soil, use a cream cleaner or non-
scratch powder. Never use commercial oven cleaner, strong
abrasives, or steel wool. Do not line with foil.
Clean with warm soapy water. For heavy soil, clean by sprinkling
baking soda and vinegar on rack. Wipe with non-abrasive pad.
Rinse thoroughly
Hard to Clean Racks
Place racks in plastic bag with ½ cup ammonia. Do not pour
ammonia into bag. Ammonia must remain in cup. To avoid rust,
do not soak racks in ammonia. Close bag tightly and overnight.
Before bag is opened turn face away to avoid breathing or eye
contact with fumes. Remove racks from bag and rinse. Clean
according to instructions above.
