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 sens-

ing 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 surfac-

es other than the oven interior.

Grates, Main Tops, Surface Burners

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

Clean the burner with soap and water, rinse thoroughly and dry completely before

reassembling. Burner heads can be dried in the oven at about 350 degrees Fahren-

heit or in the dishwasher on the dry cycle. After adjustment or cleaning, replace all

parts to their original position.

Stainless Steel Elements

Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth

or with a chamois leather.

stainless steel surfaces, or a little hot vinegar.

Note: regular use could cause discoloring around the burners, because of the high

ametemperature.

Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric condi-

tions can create an oxidation reaction on the underside of the top. This will appear

as rust or in the form of a reddish brown deposit. This will NOT AFFECT THE LIFE

OF THE TOP in comparison to the general life expectancy of the range itself.

It is very important that the burner be dry before replacing it in the range. A wet

burner will not allow the gas to ignite properly. This could result in a build-up of gas
