The burner grates are matte porcelain enamel
over cast iron. When cool they may be placed in
the dishwasher, or wipe while on the rangetop
using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry.
The burner grates will not rust as they are matte
porcelain enamel on both sides for durability.
The occasional use of mild abrasive cleaners such
as Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub®. Abrasive cleansers,
used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm
the enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
The porcelain may pop off the edge of the grates
due to rapid temperature change when the burners
are turned on, Do not be concerned as this does
not result in the deterioration of the grates. The
cast iron soon darkens to blend with the porcelain
enamel. Be careful when wiping an area where
the porcelain has popped off, as the edges may
be sharp.
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the
burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners
if they do not light even through the igniter clicks,
if there has been a severe boil over, or when the
flame does not burn blue.
Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF position
before attempting to clean the burners. The burners
have been designed for ease in cleaning. When
the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate.
The Burner Cap and the Flame Ring can easily be
lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly. The Burner Caps are porcelain
enamel, follow the directions on the previous page
that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush
can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, 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
0
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
