Proper care and cleaning are
important so your range will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for it to help
assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER
IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.
Special Care of
Continuous-Cleaning
Oven Interior
The Continuous-Cleaning oven
cleans itself while cooking. The
inside of the oven—top, sides, back
and inside of the door—is finished
with a special coating which 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 cleaners
and/or 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 porous finish,
it is dispersed and is 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 which
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.
The special coating is not used
on oven shelves. Shelves should be
cleaned outside the oven to avoid
damage to the special coating
inside the oven.
To Clean the Continuous-
Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before
handling. We recommend rubber
gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility maybe reduced by
operating the oven at 400*F. Close
the door and turn OVEN TEMP
knob to 400”F. Time for at least 4
hours. Repeated cycles may be
necessary before improvement in
appearance is apparent.

4. If a spillover or heavy soiling
occurs on the porQ~s 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
itwith a clean
sponge, starting at the edge of the
ring and working toward the center.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel
wool pads, commercial oven cleaner,
silicone oven sprays, coarse pads
or coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot,
clog, and mar the porous surface
and reduce its ability to work.
Do not scrape the porous surface
with a knife or spatuia—they -
could permanently damage it.
The oven bottom has a porcelain
enamel finish.
Itcan be removed
for cleaning away from the .0
continuous-cleaning oven.
