Special Care of
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
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.
