1. Lift out the rest at the top.

2. Wash the top of the stove and the rest with a flannel dipped in hot water and soda, so as to remove all grease and dirt; then wring out the flannel, and partially dry the top of the stove.

3. Now cover with stove-blacking, and polish in the same way as the kitchen range.

N. B. - Be careful not to stop up the gas-holes with the stove-polish.

4. Sweep away the soot and dust, and put the rest back over the stove.
