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 Chart” below for further instructions.

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.
