4. Fill the sink half full of strong, hot soda water. Put the drop tray 



in the bottom to soak, and on top of it put the top grates, doors, 

 and all movable black parts of the stove. 



5. Brush out both ovens and all parts of the stove frame. 



6. Wet one of the old cloths in hot water, rub it on the soap, and 



wash off the stove. Dry it, if necessary, with an old cloth. Then 

 oil the black parts very lightly with the separator oil and polish 

 it off thoroughly with another old dry cloth. 



7. Let the soda water out of the sinlc, let in fresh warm water, and 



scrub the doors and other black pieces with the wire brush. Dry 

 them olT, take them to the table, oil and polish them, and put 

 them back on the stove. 



8. Let the dirty water out of the sink, transfer the nickel pieces, 



dripping pan, and rack to the sink, pour in the soapy water, 

 scrub the pieces thoroughly, dry them with the sink towel, and 

 return them to place. 



9. Scrub, rinse, dry, and return to place the drop tray. 



10. Burn the old cloths and wash the sink out carefully. It is especially 

 necessary to be careful about burning oily cloths that are not 

 washed after using, because they have been known to take fire 

 spontaneously and are therefore dangerous when tucked into 

 corners out of sight. 



Note. — Be sure to have the stove all put together before any oiling is done.
