CONTINUOUS-CLEANING OVEN CARE
Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have read this section. –
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while cooking. The oven
walls are finished with a special coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual
manner with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaners,
coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of such cleansers and/or the use
of oven sprays will cause permanent damage.
The special coating is a porous ceramic material,
which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as
peaks, valleys and sub-surface “tunnels.” This
rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from
forming little beads or droplets that run down the side
walls of a hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly
streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when
spatter hits the porous finish, it is dispersed and
partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the
exposure of oven soil to heated air and makes it
somewhat less noticeable.
Soil may not disappear completely and at some
time after extended usage, stains may appear that
cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on small amounts of
spatter. It does not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures.
This special coating is not used on oven shelves,
oven bottom or inside oven door. The oven
bottom
and.the
inside of the oven door have a
porcelain enamel finish. The oven door lifts off
and the oven bottom comes out for cleaning away
from the continuous-cleaning oven.
When using a commercial oven cleaner to clean
the removable oven bottom or the inside of the
oven door,
it
is important to remove the oven bottom
and the oven door because the oven cleaner can
damage the continuous-cleaning oven coating.

spatula—they could permanently damage the finish.
If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the
porous surface, as soon as the oven has cooled,
remove as much of the soil as possible using a small
amount of water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use
water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it
as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with
paper towels, cloths or sponges.
Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or
sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the
oven finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish
as it dries, apply water again and blot it with a clean
sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working
toward the center.
