Instructions Care and Cleaning
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet 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 dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
■Do not spray the oven cleaner 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 remain 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 bulb 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 oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
