IGNITERS
Wipe with a water-dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to
damage the igniter. (See illustration on previous page).
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
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.
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 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, acidic foods, such
as vinegar, rhubarb, alcohol, citric juices or milk, or sugars
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, scrub lightly, rinse thoroughly then
dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. 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 the manufacturers instructions. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Powdered cleaners such as Bon-Ami® or
Comet can be applied with a damp sponge or cloth then
rubbed lightly to clean, then rinse and dry thoroughly..
Harsh Cleaners (commercial oven cleaners), such as Easy
Off® or Dow, can be used on the racks, however, some
commercial oven cleaners can 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 after application.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
FRAMES, SIDES, DOOR EXTERIOR, HEAT DEFLECTOR
Unless painted, 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 door vents. If water or cleaners spill
into the vents, they may streak the glass inside the door.
