CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Continued

Stainless steel may discolor if overheated. These stains can usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring powder paste.

Use only stainless steel, wooded or plastic tools if necessary to scrape off heavy deposits of grease and oil. Do not use ordinary steel scrapers of knives as particles of the iron may become imbedded and rust. STEEL WOOL SHOULD NEVER BE USED. Either a typical bleach solution or hot water can be used to sanitize stainless steel with out harm.

Oven Interior (porcelain enamel)

NOTE:  Disconnect line cord (if applicable) from power supply before cleaning or servicing.

1.Before cleaning oven interior, remove all oven racks and guides (if “RC” base). Oven racks and guides can be cleaned with a mild soap and warm water or run through dish washer.

2.The porcelain interior can be cleaned with oven cleaners such as “Easy-Off”, or “Dow Oven Cleaner”. Apply only when oven is cold.

1.“Break-In Period” – When the oven is new, operate the oven for at least two hours at high heat, with the oven empty, before normal cooking operation. Continue preheating the oven for two hours prior to use during the first two weeks. During this break-in period, it is important that the oven surfaces be kept clean of excessive soiling due to spillage.

2.How to put “continuous cleaning” action to work: each day, after baking and roasting operations have ceased empty the oven, turn the temperature control up to high heat (500°). This high heat will accelerate the cleaning action and reduce the time required to effectively clean the oven. Usually the cleaning operation will take about 45 to 60 minutes.

3.Heavy Staining – When the oven appears soiled, due to heavy staining, we suggest pre-heating the empty oven each day for 1 or 2 hours (depending on the condition of the oven) for effective results. Also, ordinary household ammonia has proven to be effective in removing baked- on “soil” build-up and has the beneficial effect of keeping the microscopic “pores” of the coating open and free

To perform its cleaning action. An occasional light swabbing with household ammonia while the oven is at room temperature will prove extremely beneficial.

Abrasives should not be used – in order to maintain continuous cleaning action, it is very important to avoid the use of abrasive materials such as steel wool scouring pads, abrasives or sharp implements which can cause permanent damage to the surface coating. In addition oven cleaners such as “easy-Off” or “Dow Oven Cleaner” will clog the “pores” of the special coating and will retard the cleaning action.

4.Period “Tune-Up” – Although the oven appears clean, we recommend operating the oven at high heat for 2 hours approximately once each month. This will insure against build-up of solids in hard to see places and in the pores of the coating.
