IGNITERS
Wipe
with
a water-dampened cotton swab. Be
careful not to damage the
igniter.
(See illustration).
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.
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 Fantastik®, Simple Green®, or Formula
409®. For
hard
to clean soil
use
a stainless steel
cleaner such as, Bon-Ami®, Cameo®, 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
pol ish, such as Sta inless Steel Magice.
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.
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 brake 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.
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.
FRAMES,
SIDES,
DOOR
EXTERIOR,
HEAT DEFLECTOR
These
parts are made of stainless steel, follow
the
directions for the Backguard (see page 28) . 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DOOR GASKET
Use a general
kitchen
spray cleaner, such as Formula
409®
or Fantastik®. Spray
it
and blot dry with a cloth.
Do not rub. Do not remove or damage
the
gasket.
OVEN LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
For
oven light bulb replacement use only a 40 watt,
120 volt appliance light bulb. These are available
in
supermarkets. DO
NOT
use a standard light bulb
in
any
oven, the heat
will
break it.
TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB:
1.
Be
sure the oven light bulb switch is
in
the
off position.
Let
the cover and
the
bulb
cool
completely.
2.
Remove
the light cover, Turn the cover to the
left (counterclockwise) to unscrew
it.
3.
Remove the burnt
out
bulb. Replace
it with
a
40
watt appliance
light
bulb only.
4.
Replace cover. Turn circuit
breaker
back on,
if
turned
off. (See
Caution
below).
CAUTION: Be sure the oven light switch (see page
8, # 11) is in the OFF position and the
light
cover is cool. If the bulb comes loose from its
base, turn off the power to the oven at the circuit
breaker panel, before attempting to remove the
bulb base from the socket.
POWER FAILURE
The
broiler
and oven burners cannot be
turned
on
during a power failure. To light the sealed
top
burn
ers, turn the
control
knob to "lite" hold a lighted
match
to
the
port ring. After
the
flame is burning
all
the
way around
the
burner, adjust
the
flame to
the desired height. It is necessary
to
light
each
burner individually. Do not light more than one
burner at a time.
