Porcelain Oven Interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door— will stay new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

•Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

•Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

•Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside of the door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Care and Cleaning

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.

Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillover, residue or ash accumulate around the bake element gently wipe around the element with warm water.
