Continuous-Cleaning Oven Care
Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have read this section.
{
The top, bottom, sides and back of
the oven liner and door inner liner
are finished with a special coating
which cannot be cleaned in the
usual manner with soap,
detergents, commercial oven
cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or
coarse brushes. Use of such
cleaners 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, which run down the
side walls of a hard-surface oven
liner leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porousfinish,
it is dispersed and is partially
absorbed. This dispersal action
increoses the exposure of oven soil
to heated air. which results in
oxidation of soil. This finish also
reduces the visual effect of residual
soil. [t may not disappear
completely and at some time after
extended usage, stains may appear.
The
special coaling works best on
small amounts of spatter. It does
not work well with larger spills.
especially sugars. egg or dairy
mixtures. For this reason, the oven
is equipped with a removable,
replaceable aluminum foil oven
bottom liner which protects the
porous jinislz on the bottom of the
oven from spillovers. Avoid spills
on inside surface of the oven door.
This special finish is not used on
oven shelves. Shelves are
removable and can be taken to
the sink for cleaning. See
Cleaning Guide in this book for
cleaning directions.
To Clean Oven:
Use the following steps when
cleaning your Continuous-Clean
Oven.
1. Let range parts cool before
handling. It is recommended that
rubber gloves be worn when
cleaning range parts manually.
2. Remove all cookware, including
the broiler pan and rack.
3. Remove oven shelves and clean
them manually with scouring pads
or mild abrasive.
4. Remove excess spills and
boilovers from aluminum foil oven
bottom liner before removing liner
from oven. This is to prevent
excess liquids from spilling onto
the porous finish. Then remove
aluminum foil bottom liner and
clean manually. (Before cleaning
or removing the aluminum foil
liner, lift bake unit out of the way. )
5.Clean oven window. Use mild
non-scratching cleanser and damp
cloth. Avoid spilling water or
cleaner on porous surface.
6. Soil visibility may be reduced
by operating oven at 400°F. Close
door, set oven temperature control
to 400°F. Time for at least 4 hours.
Repeated cycles may be necessary
before improvement in appearance
is apparent, particularly on oven
door. For moderate to heavy
soiling of oven door, use method
described in item (7) below before
running 400°F. cycle. The oven
timer can be used to control the
cycle automatically at a time
convenient for you. Some slight
smoking may occur, similar to that
which may occur during Time
Bake cooking.
REMEMBER: DURING THE
OPERATION OF THE OVEN,
THE DOOR, WINDOW AND
OTHER RANGE SURFACES
WILL GET HOT ENOUGH TO
CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT
TOUCH. LET THE RANGE
COOL BEFORE REPLACING
ALUMINUM FOIL OVEN
BOTTOM AND OVEN
SHELVES IF THEY WERE
REMOVED.
7. If a spillover or heavy soiling
occurs on the porous sulfate, as
soon as the oven has cooled,
remove as much of the soil m
possible using a small amount of
water and a stiff bristle nylon
brush. When using water. use it
sparingly and change it frequently,

leave unsightly lint on the oven
finish.
If water leaves a white ring
on the finish as it dries, apply
water again and Idol it with a clean
sponge. starting at the edge of the
ring and working toward the
center.
Use care in removing and
replacing aluminum foil oven

placing and removing dishes and
food to avoid scratching, rubbing
or otherwise damaging the poro[f.s
