Stubborn spots or stains that resist soap and water usually can be removed with a paste of water and
a mild scouring powder. When applying these powders, be sure to rub in the direction of the polish lines
on the stainless steel to preserve the original finish.
Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be
minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film. To use this cleaner, simply wipe
on and remove the excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually
disappear when wiped lightly with a soft dry cloth or with a cloth containing a little of the cleaner. If the
surface is especially soiled to start with, wash it first with soap or detergent and water.
Oven Burners
The oven burners may be removed as necessary for cleaning. Do not attempt to clean the burners
while the oven is still hot. Allow the oven and burners to cool completely. To clean the burners, use
a mild soapy water solution. Be sure to thoroughly dry the burners before reinstalling the burners in
the oven.
Burnt-On Foods and Grease
Soaking with hot soapy water will help greatly to remove burnt-on foods and grease. Stubborn deposits
can be removed with scouring powder mixed into a paste and applied with stainless steel wool or
stainless steel sponges.
Heat Tint
In and around ovens where the temperatures reach 500°F or more, straw-colored or slightly darkened
areas may appear on the stainless steel. This "heat tint" is caused by a slight oxidation of the stainless
steel and is not harmful.
To control or minimize this condition, never use more heat than is absolutely necessary.
Heat tint can be removed by scouring vigorously with stainless steel sponges and a paste made of a
scouring powder. Again, remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines.
Precautions
When scraping off heavy deposits of grease or oil from stainless steel equipment, never use ordinary
steel scrapers or knives. Particles of ordinary steel may become embedded in, or lodge on, the surface
of the stainless steel. These will rust, causing unsightly stains. Where it is necessary to scrape, use
stainless steel, wood, plastic or rubber tools.
CLEANING THE OPTIONAL PYROROCK CORE PLATE
At the end of the day, set thermostat to 550°F and allow oven to cycle for 1 hour. When the oven has
cooled, cooking residue will have been carbonized and can be removed by sweeping with a stiff brush.
Stubborn residue can be loosened using a scraper. Remove dusty residue with a damp cloth.
The use of water to cool down or clean core plates will void the warranty. Refer to OPTIONAL
PYROROCK CORE PLATE "BREAK-IN PROCEDURE" on page 12 if water has been reintroduced to
the cooking surface.
