Dual Fuel Range Care

Oven interior.
•
Never wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a
damp sponge; it may cause chipping or crazing (tiny
hairlike cracks).
•
When cool, clean splatters and spills immediately. Do
not allow food with a high sugar or acid content, such
as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling,
to remain on any porcelain enamel surface. Failure to
remove these foods may cause a permanent dull spot.
When hand cleaning a spot, use only non-abrasive
cleaners or scrubbers.
•
Self-clean feature can be used.
Oven racks and rack guides.
•
Before using the self-clean feature, remove racks and
rack guides. They will discolor if left in the oven during
this feature. Clean with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Oven door window.
•
When window is cool, use a razor blade to gently lift
baked-on foods. Spray glass cleaner on cloth to clean.
Oven gasket.
•
Do not hand clean, rub, puncture or remove the oven
gasket; this may compromise the tight door seal.
Broiler pan.
•
While slightly warm, place the top of the broiler pan in
the sink and lay dish towels over it. Pour very hot water
on the towels and allow steam to soften cooked-on
residue. Clean both the top and bottom with hot water
and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry.
Care Recommendations
GENERAL CLEANING
Burner drip pan.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently
scratch porcelain enamel surfaces. Use a clean cloth
or sponge and wipe the surface with warm water and a
mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
Burner grates.
•
Remove burner grates and clean with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as liquid detergent in hot water or a paste
of baking soda and water. Spray degreasers and mild
abrasive cleaners may be used.
Burner caps.
•
Wash in warm water and liquid detergent or mild
abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry.
Spark igniters.
•
Keep dry; never spray water or cleaner directly on the
igniter. When cleaning surface burners, avoid contact
with the igniter.
Control knobs and bezels.
•
Wipe control knobs and bezels with a damp cloth and
mild detergent and water; rinse and dry. Do not soak
the knobs or bezels or use abrasive cleaners, they will
scratch the finish and remove markings. Do not place
in dishwasher.
Control panel.
•
Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and food
soils. Spray on a cloth and wipe the panel. Do not
spray directly on the panel around valve stems.
