CaringForYourOven

Several finishes have been used on this oven. To prevent damage to these finishes, follow the suggested cleaning method(s) for that finish.

NOTE: Some finishes can be damaged from harsh and abrasive cleaning agents.

Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are OFF and the oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

Control panel and knobs

1. Pull control knobs straight off.

2. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to wipe the control panel. Rinse and wipe dry.

3. Wash control knobs in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Do not soak.

4. Push control knobs straight back on. Make sure they point to OFF.

Standard oven cleaning

The standard oven has to be hand cleaned. Use warm soapy water, soapy steel wool pads or a commercial oven cleaner. See “Cleaning tips” on page 28 for further instructions.

Do not allow commercial oven cleaner to contact the heating elements, thermostat bulb, heat seal or exterior surfaces of the oven. Damage will occur.

Using foil

To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on rack under cooking container, slightly larger than the container. This may, however, result in poor baking.

NOTE: Do not use foil or foil liner to cover the oven floor. Poor baking results could occur.
