Oven
Clean oven and oven door daily, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauces were baked, meats roasted, and if there have been spillovers.
Do not use scouring powder. It is extremely difficult to remove completely, and can build up accumulations that will damage the oven.
Remove nickel plated racks and rack supports daily and clean in a sink.
After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be cleared by setting the thermostat at 500°F and allowing the oven to operate unloaded for 30 to 45 minutes.
Exterior
Clean exterior finish daily with a mild grease dissolving solution.
Painted surfaces may be cleaned using a cloth and detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Oven
If you desire to cook high roasts, the entire height of the oven can be used by removing shelf or rack and placing roast pan directly on insulated oven bottom.
Moderate oven temperature will produce better food, reduce shrinkage and keep upkeep costs down. Use low temperature roasting method with oven temperature at about 325°F to cut meat costs by reducing shrinkage.
