Special Care of

Continuous-Cleaning

Oven Interior

The Continuous-Cleaning oven

cleans itself while cooking. The inside of the oven—top, sides, back and inside of the door—is finished with a special coating which 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 cleaners and/or 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 sub-surface “tunnels? This rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads or droplets which run down the side walls of a hard-surface oven liner leaving unsightly streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porous finish, it is dispersed and is partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven

soil to heated air, and makes it somewhat less noticeable.

Soil may not disappear completely

and at some time after extended usage, stains may appear which 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.

The special coating is not used

on oven shelves. Shelves should be cleaned outside the oven to avoid damage to the special coating inside the oven.

To Clean the Continuous- Cleaning Oven:

1.Let range parts cool before handling. We recommend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.

2.Remove shelves and cookware.

3.Soil visibility maybe reduced by operating the oven at 400*F. Close the door and turn OVEN TEMP knob to 400”F. Time for at least 4 hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before improvement in appearance is apparent.

4.If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porQ~s surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as much of the soil as possible using a small amount of water and a stiff bristle nylon brush. Use water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper towels, cloths, or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again and blot itwith a clean sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working toward the center.

Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays, coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous surface. These products will spot, clog, and mar the porous surface and reduce its ability to work.

Do not scrape the porous surface
with a knife or spatuia—they		-
could permanently	damage it.
The oven bottom has a porcelain
enamel finish. Itcan be removed
for cleaning away from the		.0
