Standard Oven Cleaning

The Standard Oven has to be hand cleaned. Use warm soapy water and steel wool pads and a commercial oven cleaner. See “Cleaning Chart” below for further instructions.

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

Using Foil

To catch sugar or starch spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack, slightly larger than the cooking container.

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