Oven Cleaning
Follow these cleaning precautions:
•Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
DO NOTuse oven cleaners, gritty cleansers, coarse abrasive pads or brushes, silicone sprays or metal scrapers on the interior walls, oven frame or ceiling of a continuous cleaning oven. Permanent damage to the oven may result.
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
Porcelain Enamel Oven
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1.Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2.If soil remains, use a
3.Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1.DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2.DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3.DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models)
Continuous cleaning ovens have a special coating which is a porous ceramic material. This rough coating tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads which run down the side walls leaving streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porous coating, it disperses and is partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, making it less noticeable.
Soil may not disappear completely. Remaining soil will gradually fade with continued oven use.The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. Larger spills, or spills generating from sugar, egg and dairy mixtures, do not clean as well.
If difficult soils occur:
1.Remove the oven racks and cookware.
2.Remove soils by completing steps a orb below:
a)Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a
b)Apply ammonia with a sponge and dab it into the porous coating. Leave the ammonia on the soiled area for 30 minutes.
3.Rinse with clear water.
4.Close the oven door and push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to 450°F (230°C).
5.Operate oven for 15 minutes.
6.Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use.
