HeartlandCleaning Porcelain and Painted Enamel

How to Clean a Heartland Stove
The porcelain and painted enamel is very serviceable and simple to clean, but because it is glass, it will not withstand rough handling or abuse. Avoid extreme variance of temperatures on porcelain. Porcelain is glass and sudden changes in temperature may cause cracking.

To clean porcelain surfaces, use warm, soapy water, glass cleaner or non abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

If any acid based food or liquid, such as lemon juice or tomato juice, is spilled on the range, wipe it at once to prevent staining.

Cleaning Nickel Plated Trim

Nickel plated surfaces may be cleaned with any non abrasive nickel cleaner and a soft cloth. The following cleaning products have been tested for cleaning nickel on the Heartland Classic ranges: Flitz Nickel Cleaner, Cerama Bryte, Autosol and Pierre D’argent. If any acid based food or liquid, such as lemon juice or tomato juice, is spilled on the range,  wipe it at once to prevent staining.

Cleaning Surface Burners

Top burners require little care other than to wipe off the head of each burner. If a boil over occurs, the burner cap can be easily lifted out so burner port holes can be cleaned in hot soapy water with a soft brush. There are no bolts or screws to remove. The igniter must also be kept clean to ensure quick positive starts. Simply lift the burner cap and clean. When replacing, be sure the tab is locked securely in position on the burner base. For normal or everyday cleaning of light spills, wipe the burner caps with a damp cloth. For heavy duty cleaning—cooked spills, oil stains, etc. scrub with a tub and tile type of cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after every cleaning operation. Wipe away excess water. Avoid using abrasives on the burner base, as they may damage the finish on the burner base.
