BACKGUARD
This is made of stainless steel. Use the mildest cleaning procedure first - hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
If the panel has food soil remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or
Formula 409®. For hard to clean soil use a stainless steel cleaner such as, Bon-Ami®, Cameo®, or Bar
Keepers Friend. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the
direction of the grain. Do not use a steel wool pad, it will scratch the surface.To touch up noticeable
scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper, rubbing in the direction
of the grain. After cleaning use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®.
If the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is possible for the vertical stainless steel panel to
discolor from the burner heat.This discoloration can be removed by using Revere Ware Stainless Steel
Cleaner.
OVEN AND DOOR INTERIOR
If in the event the oven door comes off track, or becomes
misaligned, realignment can be achieved by following this simple
procedure: Open the door and hold it all the way open. Close
the hinge latches. (see illustration) Once both hinges are
locked, gently lift the door up and partially out until the door is
evenly aligned. Evenly slide the door back into place and check
to assure the hinges rest in the center of each door hinge
roller.With the oven door fully open, unlock hinge latches and
the door is ready to close again.
Be sure the oven and door are cool before you start to clean
them.They are porcelain enamel coated. It is acid resistant, but
not acid proof.Therefore, acid foods, such as vinegar, rhubarb,
alcohol, citric juices or milk, should be wiped and not allowed
to bake on.
Try mild cleaners, such as: Bon-Ami®, ammonia, ammonia
and water, or Soft Scrub®. Apply the powders on a damp
sponge or cloth. Rub lightly. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If food
has burned onto the oven and is difficult to remove, soak the
spots with a cloth saturated with household ammonia. Allow it
to soak for an hour or two, with the door closed.The food soil should be easy to remove with a damp
soapy cloth or mild abrasive.
A solution of 3 tablespoons ammonia in a 1/2 cup of water may be placed in a warm (not hot) oven
over night.This loosens the spills and hardened residue so they are easily wiped up with a clean damp
sponge or cloth.
For stubborn stains a soap filled steel wool pad can be used.The occasional use of abrasive cleaners
is okay, if used too often or vigorously they can eventually harm the enamel. Dampen the pad, rub the
surface lightly, rinse thoroughly and dry.
Commercial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off® or Dow® can be used on the oven interior. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions. Commercial oven cleaners are corrosive to the thermostat bulb and
infrared broiler burner. Do not spray or wipe this type cleaner onto the oven thermostat bulb or
broiler burner. If some cleaner gets onto the bulb or broiler burner, wipe it off immediately with a clean damp
cloth.
