Oven Cleaning (continued)

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

•Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range 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 NOT use 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 range 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).

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 or b below:

a)Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a nylon-bristly brush or a nylon mesh scouring pad. DO NOT rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges. They will leave lint on the oven coating.

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.

Cleaning the Oven Bottom

The oven bottom is not a continuous cleaning finish. Oven cleaners can be used on the oven bottom only. Remove the oven bottom before using oven cleaners. DO NOT get oven cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.

Note: To remove or replace oven bottom, see "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under General Cleaning.

To clean, use hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner (on the oven bottom only) following manufacturer's instructions.
