CARE and MAINTENANCE
If the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is
possible for the vertical stainless steel panel of the low back
or high shelf to discolor from the burner heat. This discol-
oration can be removed by using Revere Ware Stainless
Steel Cleaner.
If in the event the oven door comes off track, or becomes
misaligned, realignment can be achieved by following this
simple procedure: Open the door and hold it all the way
open. Close the hinge latches.
(see illustration)
Once both
hinges are locked, gently lift the door up and partially out
until the door is evenly aligned. Evenly slide the door back
into place and check to assure the hinges rest in the center
of each door hinge roller. With the oven door fully open,
unlock hinge latches and the door is ready to close again.
Be sure the oven and door are cool before you start to clean
them. They are porcelain enamel. It is acid resistant, but
not acid proof. Therefore, acid foods, such as vinegar,
rhubarb, alcohol, citric juices or milk, should be wiped and
not allowed to bake on.
Try
mild cleaners
, such as: Bon-Ami, ammonia or ammo-
nia and water or Soft Scrub. Apply the powders on a damp
sponge or cloth. Rub lightly. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If
food has burned onto the oven and is difficult to remove,
soak the spots with a cloth saturated with household
ammonia. Allow it to soak for an hour or two, with the
door closed. The food soil should be easy to remove with a
damp soapy cloth or mild abrasive.
A solution of 3 tablespoons ammonia in a 1/2 cup of water
may be placed in a warm (not hot) oven over night. This
loosens the spills and hardened residue so they are easily
wiped up with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
For
stubborn stains
a soap filled steel wool pad can be
used. The
occasional use
of abrasive cleaners is okay, if
used too often or vigorously they can eventually harm the
enamel. Dampen the pad, rub the surface lightly, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
Do Not use Oven Cleaners (such as Easy Off®
or Dow®) on the oven interiors or rack slide assem-
blies / rack supports
.
Commercial oven cleaners are cor-
rosive to the thermostat bulb and heating elements. Do
not spray or wipe this type cleaner onto the oven thermo-
stat bulb or heating elements.
If some cleaner gets onto the
bulb or broiler burner, wipe it off immediately with a clean
damp cloth
.
All of the oven racks and 12” rack supports are chrome
plated steel.
*The roller assisted rack supports in the main
oven are stainless steel.
To remove the 12” Oven rack sup-
ports, first remove the oven racks, then grasp the rack sup-
ports and pull up and out. To replace the rack supports,
put the top in first. *
See page 22 for removal of the self
cleaning Oven Roller Assisted Rack Support Assemblies.
Do Not immerse the self cleaning Rack Slide Assemblies
or wash in a dishwasher. Use a damp sponge, cloth, or
steel wool with a mild detergent to clean.
Chrome cleaners
, such as Soft Scrub, Cameo or Bar
Keepers Friend can be applied with a damp sponge follow-
ing package directions. Rinse and dry.
Powdered cleaners
such as Bon-Ami or Comet are applied with a damp
sponge or cloth, rubbed lightly, rinsed and dried. For hard
to remove food soil use a dampened soap filled steel wool
pad, rinsed and dried.
Harsh Cleaners
which are commer-
cial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off or Dow can be used on
the racks, but are not recommended for use on the self
cleaning oven rack slide assemblies or oven interiors.
