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. Their use 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 spat- ters 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 porous finish it is dispersed and is partially absorbed. This dispersal action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, which results in oxi- dation of soil. This finish also reduces the visual effect of residual soil. It may not disappear com- pletely and at some time after

Use the following steps when cleaning your Continuous-Clean Oven.

1.Let range parts cool before han- dling. It is recommended that rubber gloves be worn when cleaning range parts manually.

2.Remove all cooking utensils including the broiler pan and raclc.

3.Remove oven shelves and clean them manually with scouring pads or mild abrasive.

4.Remove excess spills and boil- overs from aluminum foil oven bottom liner before removing liner from oven. This is to prevent excess liquids from spilling ~nto the porous finish. Then remove alum- inum foil bottom liner and clean manually. (Before cleaning or re- moving the aluminum foil liner, lift bake unit out of the way.)

OPERATION OF THE OVEN, THE DOOR, WINDOW AND O~”HER RANGE SURFACES WILL GET HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT TOUCH. LET THE RANGE COOL BEFORE REPLACING ALUMINUM FOIL OVEN BOT- TOM AND OVEN SHELVES IF THEY WERE REMOVED.

7.If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous surJace, as soon as the oven has cooled, re- move as much of the soil as pos- sible using a small amount of water and a stiff bristle nylon brush. When using water,-use it sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper towels, cloths, or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges-sincethesewillleave, unsightlylint on the oven finish.

able aluminum foil oven bottom liner which protects the porous finish 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 s-helves.Shelves are removable and can be taken to the sink for cleaning. See “Cleaning Chart” on page 17for cleaning directions.

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 switch to bake and 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 con- venient for you. Some slight smoking may occur, similar to that which may occur during Time Bake cooking.

Do not use soap, detergent, com- mercial oven cleaner, s[licone oven sprays, coarse steel pads or coarse brushes on the porous surface. These prod ~ictswill spot, clog, and mar the porous surfa& and reduce its ability to work.
