Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: When cleaning the cooking surface around the valve cover plate, be aware that detergents may corrode the electrical contacts on the valve switches (preventing an ignition spark) and may also degrade the gasket seal on the valve itself (causing a gas leak). To prevent damage to these components, remove valve cover and wipe up excess detergents around and on these components, or, remove valve cover for cleaning, thereby eliminating the chance of detergents coming in contact with these components. When removing valve cover remember to unplug the power to the range.

Porcelain

Keeping it clean

The porcelain is very serviceable and simple to clean, but because it is glass, it will not withstand rough handling or abuse. Never clean porcelain parts while stove is hot. Porcelain is glass and sudden changes in temperature may cause cracking. Clean porcelain surfaces, using warm soapy water, glass cleaner or non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

If any acid-based food or liquid, such as lemon juice or tomato juice is spilled on the range wipe it at once to prevent staining.

Note: Red appliances only - a red wax coating has been added for preparation purposes which may wear off during cleaning - this is normal and does not affect finished product.
