When using cooking or
roasting bags in oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
sDo not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they
can catch fire.
Surface Cooking Units
Use proper pan size—This
Q
appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different
size. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner will also
improve efficiency.
s Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat
settings. Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may catch on fire.
Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are
in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
Don’t use aluminum foil to
line drip pans or anywhere in
the oven except as described in
this book. Misuse could result in
a shock, fire hazard or damage to
the range.
Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are
suitable for range-top service;
others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature.
(See section on “Surface
Cooking” for suggestions.)
To rninirnize the possibility of
burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage, the
handle of a container should be
turned toward the center of the
range without extending over
nearby surface units.
QAlways turn surface unit to ‘“­OFF before removing cookware.
Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HI or MED HI heats.
Toavoid the possibility of a
burn or electric shock,always
be certain that the controls for all surface units are at OFF position and all coils are cool
before attempting to lift or
remove the unit.
. Don’t immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don’t put them in a dishwasher.
When flaming foods are
under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
. Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up ‘:W
and over sides of pan.
Use little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food
is added.
. If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
cUse deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Installing Your
Energy-Saving Tips
~ Range
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring, use care, and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.
The range should be installed on a l/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow
the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. For complete information, see the Installation Instructions in the back of this book.
Leveling the Range
(on models so equipped)
Leveling screws are located on each corner of the base of the range. Remove the bottom drawer (on models so equipped) and you can level the range on an uneven floor with the use of a nutdriver.

Surface Cooking
Use cookware of medium weight
aluminum, with tight-fitting covers, and flat bottoms which ­completely cover the heated portion of the surface unit.
. Cook fresh vegetables with a minimum amount of water in a covered pan.
Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at high heat. When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.
Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible. For example, when cooking eggs in the shell, bring water and eggs to boil, then turn to OFF position and cover with lid to complete the cooking.
Oven Cooking
. Preheat oven only when necessary, Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, watch the indicator light, and put food in oven promptly after the light goes out.
. Always turn oven off before removing food.
During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible if it is opened.
. Cook complete oven meals instead of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature and in approximately the same time.
cUse residual heat in the oven whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them,

Surface Cooking with Infinite Heat Controls
At both OFF and HIGH positions, there is a slight niche so control “clicks” at those positions; “click” on HIGH marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is between the words MEDIUM LO and LO. In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking,
indicating heat settings selected are
being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
Step 1: Grasp control knob and
push in. (Knob appearance varies.)
Step 2: Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to desired heat setting.
Control must be pushed in to set only from OFF position. When control is in any position other than OFF, it maybe rotated without pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF
when you finish cooking. An indicator light will glow when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for
Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.
MEDIUM HI—(Setting halfway
between HI and MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

Questions & Answers
$-”
Q. May I can foods and
..
J“\
“r
preserves on my surface unit?
0
A. Yes, but only use cookware
designed for canning purposes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is flat-bottomed and fits over the center of your Calrod@unit. Since canning generates large amounts of steam, be careful to avoid bums from steam or heat. Canning should only be done on surface
units.
Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended in
Cleaning Guide.
.
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental wok, on any surface unit?
A. Cookware without flat surfaces
is not recommended. The life of. your surface unit can be shortened and the range top can be damaged from the high heat needed for this type of cooking. ,
Q. Why am I not getting the heat I need from my units even though I have the knobs on the right setting?
A. After turning surface unit off
and making sure it is cool, check to make sure that your plug-in units are securely fastened into the surface connection.
Q. Why does my cookware tilt when I place it on the surface unit?
A. Because the surface unit is not
flat. Make sure that the “feet” on your Calrod@units are sitting tightly in the range top indentation and the reflector ring is flat on the range surface.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on
my cookware coming otT?
A. If you set your Calrod@unit
higher than required for the cookware material, and leave it,
the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or bum depending on the pot or pan. Also, a too high heat for long periods and cooking small amounts of dry food may damage the finish.

Home Canning Tips
b“
Canning should be done on surface units only.
Pots that extend beyond one inch
of cooking element’s trim ring are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING
Observe Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface unit and take too long to boil water.
FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—
.
and all types of frying— cook at temperatures much higher than
RIGHT WRONG
boiling water. Such temperatures
could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.
ym.
3. When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr;
and the United States Department
of Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.
NOTE: If your range is being operated on low power (voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The
process time will be shortened by
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for
fastest heating of large quantities
of water.

OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set, from WARM (150”F) to BROIL (550°F).
The Oven Cycling Light glows
until the oven reaches your selected temperature,then goes off and on with the oven unit(s)during cooking.
PREHEA~G the oven,even to hightemperaturesettings,is speedy,
rarelymorethan about 10minutes. Preheattheovenonly whennecessary. Mostfoods willcook satisfactorily withoutpreheating.Ifyou find preheatingis necessary,keepan eye on the indicator light and put food in the oven promptly after light goes out.
Oven Interior Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they (a) will stbp before coming completely from the oven, and (b) will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.
TO REMOVE THE SHELVES
from the oven pull the shelf toward you, tilt front ~nd upward and pull the shelf out.
TO REPLACE, place the shelf on
shelf support with stop-locks (curved extension of shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up front and push shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past “stop” on the oven wall. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Oven Light
(on models so equipped) The light comes on automatically
when the door is opened. On models with oven window, use
switch to turn light on and off when door is closed. The switch is located on the front of the door on some models. On other models, you’ll find it on the control panel.

Baking
When cooking a food for the first
time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and a difference in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes is not unusual. You may be inclined to think that the
new oven is not performing correctly. However, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.
How to Set YourRange for Baking
Step 1: Place food in oven, being
certain to leave about 1 inch of
space between pans and walls of oven for good circulation of heat. Close oven door. During baking,
avoid frequent door openings to
prevent undesirable results.
How to Set Immediate
Start and Automatic Stop
NOTE: Before beginning, make
sure the hands of the range clock show the correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting oven to start baking now and turn off at a later time automatically. Remember, foods continue cooking after controls are off.
Step 1: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP TIME dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn off, for example 6:00. The DELAY START dial should be at the same position as the time of day on clock.
Step 1: To set start time, push in
knob on DELAY START dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn on, for example 3:30.
Step 2: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP TIME dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn off, for example 6:00. This means your recipe called for two and one-half hours of baking time.
NOTE: Time on STOP TIME dial must be later than time shown on range clock and DELAY START dial.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to
temperature on recipe or on
Baking Guide.
Step 3: Check food for doneness
at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Switch off heat and remove foods.
How to Time Bake
(on models with this feature)
The automatic oven timer controls are designed to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set.
14
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to oven temperature, for example 250”F. The oven will start
immediately and will stop at the
time you have set.
How to Set Delay Start and Stop
Delay Start and Stop is setting the oven timer to turn the oven on and off automatically at a later time than the present time of day.
Step 3: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to 250”F. or recommended temperature.
Place food in oven, close the door and automatically the oven will be turned on and off at the times you have set. Turn OVEN SET to OFF and remove food from oven.
OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT(s) at TIME BAKE setting may work differently than they do at BAKE setting. Carefully recheck the steps given above. If all operations are done as explained, oven will operate as it should.

Roasting
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set to BAKE or TIME BAKE. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:
Step 1: Check weight of meat, and
place, fat-side-up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.) Line broiler pan with aluminum foil when using pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or for basting food during cooking. Avoid
spilling these materials on oven
liner or door.
Step 2: Position in oven on shelf
in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.
Step 4: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven.
Standing time recommended for roasts is 10to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to
10”F.;to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove roast from oven sooner (at 5° to 10“F.less than temperature in the guide).
NOTE: Youmay wish to use TIME BAKE, as described in the Baking
section of this book, to turn oven
on and off automatically.
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb,
s
etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.
Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessmy to check for “ doneness with a meat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide on opposite page. For roasts over 8 lbs., cooked at 300”F. with reduced time, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the time has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
when I try to carve it? A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a roast or poultry?
A. It is rarely necessary to preheat
your oven, only for very small roasts, which cook a short length of time.
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Step 3: Turn OVEN SET to BAKE
and OVEN TEMP to 325”F. Small poultry may be cooked at 375”F. for best browning.

Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8” thick.
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in
broiler pan. .Alwaysuse rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire.
Step 3: Position shelf on
recommended shelf position as
suggested in Broiling Guide. Most
broiling is done on C position, but
if your range is connected to 208 Volts, you may wish to use a higher position.
Step 4: Leave door ajar a few
inches (except when broiling chicken). The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
Step 5: Turn both OVEN SET and
OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL. Preheating units is not necessary. (See notes in Broiling Guide.)
Step 6: Turn food only once
during broiling. Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.
Turn food, then use times given for second side as a guide to preferred doneness. (Where two thicknesses and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)
Step 7: When finished broiling,
turn OVEN SET knob to OFF. Serve food immediately, leaving the broiler pan and rack outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in itjust like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan. The
juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions & Answers ~
Q. Why should I leave the door ‘;;” closed when broiling chicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommended for closed-door broiling. This is because chicken is relatively thicker than other foods you broil. Closing the door holds more heat in the oven which allows chicken to cook evenly throughout.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan? A. Yes.
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before
broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices
and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should? A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the oven maybe low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn food only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my
broiler rack to prevent meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make cleanup easier.
Using the rack suspends
the juices fall into the pan,

Care and Cleaning (s& Cleaning Guide)
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Cooktop
The porcelain enamel cooktop is
sturdy but breakable if misused.
This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish. .
Cleaning Under the Range
The area under the range of models equipped with a bottom drawer can
be reached easily for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer. To remove, pull drawer out all the
way, tilt up the front and remove it, To replace, insert glides at back of drawer beyond stop on range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to
insert easily. Let front of drawer down, then push in to close.
Removable Oven Door
To REMOVE door, open to BROIL position, or where you feel hinge catch slightly. Grasp door at sides; lift door up and away from hinges.
To REPLACE, grasp door at sides. Line up door with hinges and push door firmly into place.
Oven Vent Duct
Yourrange is vented through a
duct located under the right rear
surface unit. Clean the duct often.
To remove:
Make sure unit is cool.
. Lift up right rear surface unit.
Remove trim ring/drip pan.
Lift out oven vent duct,
To replace:
Place the part over the oven vent
located below the cooktop with opening of the duct under the round opening in the drip pan. It is important that the duct is in the correct position so moisture and vapors from the oven can be released during oven use. NOTE: Never cover the hole in the oven vent duct with aluminum foil or any other material. This prevents the oven vent from working properly during any cooking cycle.
Lamp Replacement
(on models so equipped) CAUTION: Before replacing
your oven lamp bulb, disconnect the electric power for your range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let
the lamp cover”tmdbulb cool completely before removing or replacing them. When in use, light bulbs can become warm enough to break if touched with moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid touching warm lamps with cleaning cloths if lamp cover is removed.
The oven lamp (bulb) is covered
with a glass removable cover that
is held in place with a bail-shaped
wire. Remove oven door, if
desired, to reach cover easily, To remove:
Hold hand under cover so it
doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of same hand, firmly push back wire bail until it clears cover. Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS.
Replace bulb with 40-watt home
appliance bulb.
To replace cover:
Place it into groove of lamp
receptacle. Pull wire bail forward to center of cover until it snaps in ‘-
fk,
3
place. When in place, wire holds cover firmly. Be certain wire bail is in depression in center of cover.
Connect electric power to range.
Surface Units
Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire. To make cleaning easier, tilt-lock units lift up and lock in the up position, and plug-in units are removable.
Caution: Be sure all controls are turned to OFF and surface units are cool before attempting to lift or remove them.
After lifting the tilt-lock units or removing plug-in units, remove the trim rings/drip pans under the units and clean them according to directions in the Cleaning Guide. Wipe around the edges of the surface unit openings. Clean the area below the units. Rinse all washed areas with a damp cloth or sponge.

*
Tilt-Lock units cannot be removed.
You can lift a tilt-lock unit upward about 6 inches and it will lock in the up position.
To reposition the tilt-lock unit: c Replace the drip panhim ring
into the recess in the cooktop.
If you have a separate trim ring,
put it in place over the drip pan. The drip pan must be under the trim ring.
. Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.
Plug-In Units
(On models so equipped)
Plug-in units can be removed.
Lift a plug-in unit about 1 inch above the trim ring-just enough to grasp it—and pull it out.
Do not lift a plug-in unit more
than 1 inch. If you do, it may not lie flat on the trim ring when YOU plug it back in. ~ - -
Repeated lifting of the plug-in unit more than 1 inch above the trim ring can permanently damage the receptacle.
To replace a plug-in unit: . Replace the drip pan into the
recess in the cooktop. Make sure opening in pan lines up with receptacle. If you have separate trim ring, put it in place over the drip pan. The drip pan must be under the trim ring.

Note: The drip pan must be under the trim ring.
CAUTION
. Do not attempt to clean plug-in surface units in an automatic dishwasher.
Do not immerse plug-in surface
units in liquids of any kind.
Do not bend the plug-in surface
unit plug terminals.
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or
in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.
AdjustingOven Thermostat
Use the time given in your recipe when using the oven for the first time. Oven thermostats, in time, may “drift” from the factory setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced. However, if you find that your foods consistently brown too little or too much, you may make a simple adjustment ‘inthe -
thermostat (Oven Temp) knob.
To adjust the thermostat knob:
1. Pull the knob off the shaft, look
at the back of the knob and note the current setting before making any adjustments.
2. Loosen both screws on the back
of the knob.
3. If the oven temperature seems too hot, move the top screw toward the word HOTTER. [f the temperature seems too cool, move the screw toward the word COLDER. Each notch changes the temperature by about 8 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft.

Continuous-Cleaning Oven Care
Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have read this section.
The top, bottom, sides and back of the oven liner and door inner liner are finished with a special coating which cannot be cleaned in the usual manner with soap, detergents, commercial oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of such cleaners and/or the use of oven sprays will cause permanent damage.
The special coating is a porous ceramic material which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as peaks, valleys and sub-surface “tunnels.” This rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads or droplets, which run down the side walls of a hard-surface oven liner leaving unsightly streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porousfinish, it is dispersed and is partially absorbed. This dispersal action increoses the exposure of oven soil to heated air. which results in
oxidation of soil. This finish also
reduces the visual effect of residual
soil. [t may not disappear completely and at some time after extended usage, stains may appear.
special coaling works best on
The
small amounts of spatter. It does
not work well with larger spills. especially sugars. egg or dairy
mixtures. For this reason, the oven
is equipped with a removable,
replaceable aluminum foil oven
bottom liner which protects the porous jinislz on the bottom of the oven from spillovers. Avoid spills
on inside surface of the oven door. This special finish is not used on
oven shelves. Shelves are
removable and can be taken to
the sink for cleaning. See
Cleaning Guide in this book for
cleaning directions.
{
To Clean Oven:
Use the following steps when
cleaning your Continuous-Clean Oven.
1. Let range parts cool before
handling. It is recommended that rubber gloves be worn when cleaning range parts manually.
2. Remove all cookware, including the broiler pan and rack.
3. Remove oven shelves and clean them manually with scouring pads or mild abrasive.
4. Remove excess spills and boilovers from aluminum foil oven bottom liner before removing liner from oven. This is to prevent excess liquids from spilling onto the porous finish. Then remove aluminum foil bottom liner and clean manually. (Before cleaning or removing the aluminum foil liner, lift bake unit out of the way. )
5.Clean oven window. Use mild
non-scratching cleanser and damp cloth. Avoid spilling water or
cleaner on porous surface.
6. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating oven at 400°F. Close door, set oven temperature control to 400°F. Time for at least 4 hours.
Repeated cycles may be necessary before improvement in appearance is apparent, particularly on oven door. For moderate to heavy
soiling of oven door, use method described in item (7) below before running 400°F. cycle. The oven timer can be used to control the cycle automatically at a time convenient for you. Some slight
smoking may occur, similar to that which may occur during Time Bake cooking.
REMEMBER: DURING THE OPERATION OF THE OVEN, THE DOOR, WINDOW AND OTHER RANGE SURFACES WILL GET HOT ENOUGH TO
CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT TOUCH. LET THE RANGE COOL BEFORE REPLACING ALUMINUM FOIL OVEN
BOTTOM AND OVEN
SHELVES IF THEY WERE
REMOVED.
7. If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous sulfate, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as much of the soil m possible using a small amount of water and a stiff bristle nylon brush. When using water. use it sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it m clean M possible, and be sure to blot it up with puper towels, cloths or sponges. ZXl rub or s(’ruh with paper towels. cloths or sponges, since these will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish. on the finish as it dries, apply water again and Idol it with a clean sponge. starting at the edge of the ring and working toward the center.
Use care in removing and replacing aluminum foil oven bottom liner and shelves and in placing and removing dishes and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or otherwise damaging the poro[f.s
j7nish on the oven walls and door.
Do not use soap. detergent. commercial oven cleaner. silicone oven sprays, coarse steel pads or coarse brushes on the porous su@zce. These products will spot. clog and mar the porous and reduce its ability to work
