What Is The Continuous Cleaning Oven?

The finish of the Continuous Cle_dng Oven contains a special catalyst and is identified by its dark gray color, white supple and rough. porous texture. The rough texture prevents grease spatters from forming beads which run down the walls leavlng unsightly streaks.

Rather, the rough texture absorbs spatters and allowsthem to spread, thus exposing a larger area to the hot oven air. The catalyst, when exposed to heat, speeds the oxidation of soft.

Cleaning action automatically begins

whenever the oven is turned on for baking or

roasting. The oven MUST be on for cleaning to take place - no cleaning will occur when the oven is off. The special catalytic finish must be exposed to hot oven alr before soft will begin to gradually reduce in size.

Factors Affecting Length Of Cleaning Time

The higher the oven temperature, the faster the cleaning action. The length of cleaning time will depend on these factors: Type of soft,

amount or size of sotk oven temperature and

length of time oven is in use. Time may vary from a few minutes to several hours. Soft

deposited at the end of a cycle may sUIl be visible. This will usually fade with continued

oven use until the soft gradually disappears or can be wiped up manually. The oven will

appear presentably dean. even though some

spatters may be present.

Manually Cleaning Heavy Spillovers

The special finish will clean most spatters

during normal oven use unless there is a heavy buildup of soil. Heavy spillovers such as

pie or casserole boilovers will not clean effectively without some manual help. The

crusty or varnish-like stains that form from these splllovers clog the pores and prevent the special finish from being exposed to the hot oven air. This greatly reduces the eleanlng

effectiveness of the finish.

These crusty or varnlsh-llkestains must either be removed or broken up before cleaning can effectively take place.

To Manually Clean Heavy Spillovers

Brush off heavy soil with a nylon brush or plastic pad. Do not use paper towels, cloths

or sponges for the oven wails are porous and

particles of these materials will rub offon the walls. Rinse area with c!ear water only.

Hints

Brittle crusts or stains can be loosened by gently tapping stain with a wooden or plastic utensil. Brush away any loose soft that flakes off. Varnish type stains usually need to be softened with a small amount of water or

damp cloth. Remaining soil will gradually

reduce with continued oven use at normal baking temperatures.

Do not use any type of oven cleaner,

powdered cleansers, soap, detergent or

paste on any continuous cleaning surface.

Also, do not use any abrasive materials,

steel wool, sharp instruments or scrapers

for they will damage the finish.

Avoid spiliovers by using utensfts that are

large enough to hold food. A cookie sheet or

piece of aluminum foil, Just a little larger than the pan, can be placed on the rack directly below the rack holding the utensil to catch spills.

Over a period of time. wear marks may appear on the embossed rack supports. This is normal and results from sliding the racks in and out of the oven. Wear marks will not affect the cleaning action of the oven.
