ever, any acid foods spilled (such as
fruit juices, tomato, or vinegar)
should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.

@Place the part over the oven vent
located below the cooktop with
opening of the duct under the
round opening in the drip pan. It
is important that the duct is in the
correct position so moisture and
vapors from the oven can be
