CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior (on some models)

Special Care of Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior:

Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have read this section.

The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while cooking. The oven interior is finished with a special coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of such cleansers 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 that 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 partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air and makes it somewhat less noticeable.

Soil may not disappear completely and at some time after extended usage, stains may appear that cannot be removed.

The special coating works best on 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 bottom of the oven from spillovers.

This special coating is not used on the oven shelves or on the inside of the oven door. These should be removed for cleaning to prevent damage to the Continuous Cleaning Oven coating.

Use care in removing and replacing the shelves and in placing and removing dishes and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or otherwise damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.

To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:

1.Let the range parts cool before handling. We recommend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.

2.Remove shelves and cookware, including the broiler pan and grid.

3.Remove excess spills and boilovers from the aluminum foil oven bottom liner before removing the liner from the oven. This is to prevent excess liquids from spilling onto the porous finish.

Then remove aluminum foil bottom liner and clean with a damp cloth. (Before cleaning or removing the aluminum foil liner, lift the bake element out of the way.)

4.Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven at 400°F. Close the door and set temperature control to 400°F. Time for at least

4 hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before improvement in appearance is apparent.

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 the oven shelves and aluminum foil oven bottom.

5.If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as much of the soil as possible using a small amount of water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use water 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, since they will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again and blot it with a clean sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working toward the center.

Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays, coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous surface. These products will spot, clog and damage the porous surface and reduce its ability to work.

Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife or spatula— they could permanently damage the finish.
