Proper care and cleaning are
important so yourrangewillgive
youefficientand satisfactory

Beforecleaninganypart ofyour

When the range is cool, wash the

thesurfacewithcleanwaterand

occasionallyapplya thin coatof
mildcleaningwaxto helpprotect
thefinish.
Thereare a numberof precautions
youcan taketo avoidmarringthe
surfaceof the rangeand to prevent
it frombecomingdull. Don’tslide
heavypans acrossit. If youspill
foodswith a lot ofacid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut,fruitjuices, etc.)or
foodswith highsugarcontent,
cleanthemup as soonas possible.
If allowedto remain,these foods
couldcausea dullspot. Also,no
