Care And Maintenance - Capital Precision Series Use And Installation Manual

if necessary. Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not
recommended, however, it may become necessary
to do so if the ports remain clogged after normal
cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the
Simmer Ring from the Base, remove the Hex Nut
at the top of the Simmer Ring. Clean the Simmer
Ring with hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic
bristle brush then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the
parts using the Hex Nut.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the
Locating Notch at the bottom of the Simmer Ring
is properly aligned with the corresponding Mark in
the Base and that the Locating Marks in the Cap
are aligned with the marks in the Ring. Incorrect
alignment will produce a potentially dangerous
flame and poor burner performance.
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
either all stainless steel or a combination of stainless
steel and glass. 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
polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic
If the rear top burner 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.
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 and
not allowed to brake on.
Try mild cleaners, such as: Bon-Ami®, ammonia,
ammonia and water, or Soft Scrub®. Apply the
powers 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.
