Racks - Hotpoint RGB540SEP - 30 in. Gas Range Owner's Manual

Care and cleaning of the range.
Oven Racks
Cleanthe racks with an abrasive cleanser or
scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the racks
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Porcelain Oven Interior (on all models
except
continuous-cleaning models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior
will retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleanser. Soap-filled
scouring pads may also be used. Do not allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may
cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow
glass pan and leave in a cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
burned-on grease and food.
When necessary,you may use a commercial
oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.
CAUTIONS about
using spray-on
oven cleaners:
Be careful where the oven cleaner is
sprayed.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls and switches (on some models)
because it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to
remain on the temperature sensing bulb-it
could cause the oven to heat improperly.
(Thebulb is located at the rear of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb as a change in its position could affect
how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
outside oven door, handles or any exterior
surface of the oven, cabinet or painted
surfaces.The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.
