Use And Care Manual

UNIQUE 20/24/30

Note:

Over a period of time, wear marks may appear on the embossed rack supports.

This is normal and results from sliding the oven racks in and out of the oven. Wear marks

will not interfere with the overall cleaning action of the oven.

CLEANING THE RANGE

Always keep cleaning materials and chemicals in a safe place and away from children.

Know what you are using. Make sure all parts of the range are COOL before cleaning. Be

sure to replace the parts correctly.

Knobs

Pull forward on the knobs to remove them. Wash in a water solution with a mild

detergent mix. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or any abrasive action. Abrasive action will

scratch away the knob markings.

If the knobs become loose on the valve stem, spread the valve stem slightly with a small

screwdriver.

Using Commercial Oven Cleaners

Commercial oven cleaners may be used on porcelain lined ovens; however, many cleaners

are very strong, and it’s essential to follow instructions carefully. Be sure to wear rubber

gloves to protect your hands.

After using such cleaners, thoroughly rinse the oven with a solution of 1 tablespoon

vinegar to 1 cup of water. Oven cleaners can coat or damage the thermostat sensing

device (the long tube in the oven) so that it will not respond to temperature accurately. If

you use an oven cleaner, do not let it contact the sensing bulb, or any chrome, aluminum,

or plastic part of the range.

Do not apply or allow the cleaner to come in contact with any parts or surfaces

other than the oven interior.

Grates, Main Tops, Surface Burners and Sealed Burners

The grates are made of porcelain coated steel. These materials can be cleaned at the sink

with detergent or soap-filled scouring pads. Do not be alarmed when the grate loses its

shining finish. The heat from the burners will cause the grates to lose their shining finish.

NOTE: Top burner grates must be seated in the proper position with the retainer lug in

the hole provided for it. This will prevent the burner grate from rotating or tilting. To

remove the range top on standard models, first remove the grates. Lift up the front of

the main top, then grasp the top at each side and pull it toward you. On sealed burner

models, you must first remove the burner grates and burner heads.
