Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the stove’s finish. The oven requires more thorough cleaning. Remove any loose debris from the oven cavity before cleaning. For light cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the interior surfaces. For heavier cleaning, use a commercial oven cleaner, strictly following the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to wear protective gloves and ensure adequate ventilation. Regularly inspect the burners and igniters for any signs of damage or blockage. Clean any debris from the burner ports using a small brush or compressed air. If you notice any issues, consult your warranty information or contact Greystone customer support. Remember to disconnect the gas supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning tasks that involve the gas lines. Always refer to the specific cleaning instructions provided in your Greystone RV stove’s user manual for detailed guidance. This ensures you use the correct cleaning methods and avoid damaging your appliance.
