rner Grates

Porcelain enamel burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them

in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t put them back on the ran&e wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get fid Of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered

container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually

lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them, This is due to their continual exposure to

high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Drip Pans

Remove the grates. Then lift out the chrome-plated drip pans. Wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse them with clean, hot water and polish them dry with a cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers or steel wool—they’ll scratch the surface. Instead, soak the drip pans for about 20 minutes in slightly diluted liquid cleanser or mild solution of ammonia and water ( 1/2 cup of ammonia to one gallon of water).

After soaking, wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean, soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions. Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Outside of door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.
