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
The grates are made of porcelain coated steel. These materials can be cleaned at the
sinkwithdetergentorsoap-lledscouringpads.Donotbealarmedwhenthegrate
losesitsshinynish.Theheatfromtheburnerswillcausethegratestolosetheir
shinynish.
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 Fahrenheit
or in the dishwasher on the dry cycle. After adjustment or cleaning, replace all parts to
their original position.
Stainless Steel Elements
Thestainlesssteelnishtopcanbecleanedwithdetergentandwarmwater.
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or
with a chamois leather.
Fordifcultgrime,useacommerciallyavailable,non-abrasiveproductforcleaning
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 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.
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re.
