Range Cleaning
Wash exterior surfaces after they have cooled with
detergent and warm to hot water. A paste of water and
baking soda can be used on difficult spots. Rinse and
wipe dry. The same materials can be used on chrome trim,
or stainless steel parts. Never use scouring powder or
harsh abrasive pads. Plastic or nylon pads may be used
for difficult spots.
Creamy appliance wax can be used on painted surfaces
for protection and ease of cleaning, but is not needed
on porcelain enamel surfaces.
Check owners manual to see if other cleaning
materials are safe to use.
