CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Hints
1 . The porcelain enamel finish is acid resistant, but not acid proof. Acidic food, such as citrus juices, tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be wiped off and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain during the next use.
2. Remove the oven racks.
3. The heating elements in the oven do not require cleaning; the elements burn themselves clean when the oven is in use. Elements are permanently connected. It is not necessary to clean the broiler shield above the broil element.
CAUTION
The interior of the oven will still be at baking temperatures when the automatic lock cycles to its open position and the oven door can be opened.
