Oven cavity / porcelain
enamel on steel
•
Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, but not acid proof. Acid foods such as citrus juices,
tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be wiped up and not allowed to bake
onto the porcelain during the next use. Over a period of time, the porcelain may craze
(get fine hairlike lines), this will not affect oven performance.
•
Apply cleaner to a damp sponge or cloth. Rub lightly. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If food
has burned onto the oven and is difficult to remove, the spots can be soaked with a cloth
saturated in a suggested cleaner. Close the door and allow it to soak until the food soil
can be easily removed with a damp soapy cloth or mild abrasive.

Some commercial oven cleaners cause darkening and discoloration. Test the cleaner on a
small part of the rack and check for discoloration before cleaning the entire rack.
•
Oven racks will discolor if left in oven during self clean.
•
If the racks do not slide easily after being cleaned, dampen a paper towel with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub it lightly over the side rails.
