If heavy soiling has occurred on the porous surface, remove as much of the soil as possible j
using a small amount of water and a stiff bristle nylon brush. Use water sparingly and 1
change it frequently, keeping it as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper
towels, cloths, or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges, since
they will leave unsightly lint on the oven Finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish as
