Oven Cleaning

 (continued)

Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models)

Continuous cleaning ovens have a special coating which is a porous ceramic
material.This rough coating tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads
which run down the side walls leaving streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous coating, it disperses and is partially absorbed. This
spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, making it less
noticeable.

Soil may not disappear completely

. Remaining soil will gradually fade with continued

oven use.

 The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. 

Larger spills,

or spills generating from sugar, egg and dairy mixtures, do not clean as well.

If difficult soils occur:

1.

Remove the oven racks and cookware.

2.

Remove soils by completing steps 

a 

or 

b 

below:

a)

Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a nylon-bristly brush or a nylon
mesh scouring pad. 

DO NOT

 rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or

sponges. They will leave lint on the oven coating.

b)

Apply ammonia with a sponge and dab it into the porous coating. Leave  the
ammonia on the soiled area for 30 minutes.

3.

Rinse with clear water.

4.

Close the oven door and push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to 450°F
(230°C).

5.

Operate oven for 15 minutes.

6.

Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use.

Cleaning the Oven Bottom

The oven bottom is not a continuous cleaning finish. Oven cleaners can be
used on the oven bottom only. 

Remove the oven bottom before using oven

cleaners. 

DO NOT 

get oven cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.

Note:

 To remove or replace oven bottom, see "To Remove and Replace Oven

Bottom" under 

General Cleaning

.

To clean

, use hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad

or oven cleaner

 (on the oven bottom only) 

 following manufacturer's instructions.

  DO NOT

 line the oven

walls, bottom, racks or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum
foil will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).

Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
•

Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

•

Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the
range manually.

REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

REGULAR

CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUM-
BER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.

  Ammonia must be rinsed

before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.

 DO NOT 

use oven

cleaners, gritty cleansers, coarse abrasive
pads or brushes, silicone sprays or metal
scrapers on the interior walls, oven frame
or ceiling of a continuous cleaning oven.

Permanent damage to the oven may
result.
