CARE AND CLEANING CHART

Many different cleaning agents are recommended for the various parts of the range. The following brands may help
you to make an appropriate selection: Mild abrasive cleaners (Bon Ami, Cameo, Soft Scrub, Comet or Ajax); mild
liquid sprays (Fantastik, Formula 409); glass cleaners (Windex, Glass Plus, Cinch); non-abrasive scouring pad
(Tuffy). If a cleaning product is recommended for use on plastic, glass or porcelain, it can be used on the same appliance
finish.

Be sure all parts are cool before cleaning.
DIRECTIONS
Be sure all parts are properly replaced after cleaning.
Remove from oven after use. Cool then pour off grease. Place soapy
cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil. Wash in warm soapy
water. Use soap filled scouring pad to remove stubborn soil. Broiler
pan and insert can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe up spills, especially acid spills,
as soon as they occur. (This is especially important for white sur-
faces.) When surface is cool, wash with soap and water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaning liquids and powders or oven cleaners.
These will scratch and permanently damage the finish. Dry with a soft
cloth. On smoothtop cooktops, clean vent opening area after each
oven use.
Wash with soap and water. Remove stubborn soil with paste of bak-
ing soda and water. Do not use abrasive materials such as scouring
pads, steel wool or powdered cleaning agents. They will damage
glass. Rinse with clear water and dry. To prevent staining of oven win-
dow, never use excessive amounts of water which may seep under or
behind glass.
Wash with soap and water. Remove stubborn soil with paste of bak-
ing soda and water. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic
agents. They will damage the finish.
Elements are self-cleaning. Soil will burn off as elements are used.
Do not spray oven cleaner on elements, electrical hook up or connec-
tion. Do not immerse coil-type surface elements in water.
Clean with soapy water. Remove stubborn soil with cleansing powder
or soap filled scouring pad. Rinse and dry. Racks will permanently
discolor if left in the oven during a self-clean operation.
Do not use oven cleaner, powder or liquid cleansers, abrasive or
caustic cleaning agents on plastic finishes. These cleaning agents
will scratch or marr finish. To prevent staining or discoloration, wipe
up fat, grease or acid (tomato, lemon, vinegar, milk, fruit juice, mari-
nade) immediately with a dry paper towel or cloth. When surface is
cool, clean with soap and water; rinse, and dry.
Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal. It may crack or chip with
misuse. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spil-
lovers, especially acid or sugar spillovers, should be wiped up im-
mediately with a dry cloth. Surface may discolor or dull if soil, espe-
cially acid soil, is not removed. Never wipe off a warm or hot surface
with a damp cloth. This may cause cracking and chipping. Never use
oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on exterior finish
of range or in the self-clean oven.
