Care And Cleaning - Kenmore 790.9257 Series Use & Care Manual

Care and Cleaning

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning
later.
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be
sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they
must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed
before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and provide
adequate ventilation.

Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth. Scrub gently with a soapy, non-abrasive
scouring pad to remove most spots. Rinse with a 50/50 solution of clean water and
ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30

could damage the porcelain. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on porcelain surfaces. These
spills may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
