carried by the cooking vapors get on the surfaces in and around the range If you let the soil collect, it will be
difficult to remove A few minutes of quick clean-up after you use the range will save hours of scouring later
After oven or broiler use, wait until oven is cool, then wipe the oven racks broiler pan and grid with hot detergent
water Rinse with a damp cloth and wipe dry For each type of material in your range, follow the cleaning
procedures below. Refer to "Know Your Range" to find out what material a part is made of Do not use large
