Cleaning - Frigidaire R530D Owner's Manual

Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of
the range, be sure all heat-
ing elements are turned
OFF and are cool.
General cleaning, outside
Remove spillovers and stains as they occur using a soft cloth
and sudsy water. If necessary, use a plastic or nylon scrubber. Always
rinse well with clean water.
Clean the range after each use to prevent soil build-up.
Use a mixture of mild detergent and hot water to remove light soil.
Rinse with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Be sure to wring excess
moisture from the cloth before wiping any range surface.
Different surfaces require special cleaning to remove heavy soil.
Follow the instructions below.
ALUMINUM--Use detergent on a damp cloth to clean range
trim pieces. Do not scour or use all-purpose cleaners, ammonia,
powdered cleansers or commercial oven cleaners. They can scratch
and discolor aluminum.
GLASS, PAINT AND PLASTIC--These finishes are used
in areas where soiling should not be severe. For built-up grease, make
a detergent and water paste. Apply to soil for 30 to 60 minutes, then
wipe with a dry paper towel. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Lightly
rub glass with a very wet, new soapy scouring pad. Be careful not
to scratch the surface.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL--Gentle scouring with a soapy
scouring pad will remove most stubborn spots. If necessary, cover
spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30-40 minutes. Rub
gently with soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clear
water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray
oven cleaners on the range top.
STAINLESS STEEL, CHROME--Cover stubborn spots
with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. A soap-
filled scouring pad may be used carefully, but not on a mirror finish.
Cleaners made for use with stainless steel, chrome or copper may
be used. Bluish stains on these materials are caused by over-heating
and cannot be removed.
Lift-up range top
The range top is hinged and may be raised to clean the panel
underneath. To raise the top, grasp the sides and lift from the front.
A swing-up rod will support the top in its raised positon.
CAUTION: When lowering the top, grasp the sides with finger-
tips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers.
Do not drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering.
This could damage the surface.
