The porcelain finish top can be cleaned with detergent and warm water. A mild glass wax
can be used to shine the top.
Range tops finished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spatters or soiling
after each use. Clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a
mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
A light coat of oil or thin cooking oil should be applied periodically to the chrome
top surface and underside. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the
chrome surface.
Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric
conditions 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.
The grate and main top should be removed to gain access to the surface burners.
Remove the burner and let it soak in hot sudsy water. Most stains will then wipe off;
if not, scrub with a strong but non-abrasive cleaning pad. Rinse the burner
thoroughly.
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
which could result in an explosion or fire.
Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler
Aluminium foil when used improperly is a cause of many range fires. Make certain
that vents or air openings aren’t covered by the foil. If the vents located along the
sides of the oven bottom are blocked, poor cooking will result.
Never cover a rack completely. A piece of foil slightly larger than the utensil can be
placed on the rack beneath the utensil.
Remove and discard aluminum foil after each use. This will help prevent greases and
spilled food from accumulating and becoming a fire hazard.
