The grates, the spill tray (on some models) and

of the porcelain parts.

•  If necessary, tough stains may be removed by 

applying full-strength sprays such as Simple 

Green™, Ajax™ All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 

409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner 

needed to get the surface clean.

•  For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a 

mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as 

Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.
