Special Care of the Continuous Cleaning
Oven Interior
(on some models)
The special coating is a porous ceramic material,
which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to
the touch.
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.
If magnified, the surface would appear as peaks, valleys
and sub-surface "tunnels1" 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.. The oven bottom does not
have the continuous cleaning oven coating and can be
removed and cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
This special coating is not used on the oven shelves,
oven bottom or the inside of the oven door. Remove
these to clean with a commercial oven cleaner to prevent
damaging the continuous cleaning oven coating.
Make sure the oven bottom is in place before you
turn the oven on for any reason.
Use care in removing and replacing the oven bottom
and shelves and in placing and removing dishes and
food to avoid scratching, rubbing or otherwise damaging
the porous finish on the oven walls.
To Clean the Continuous Cleaning Oven:
1o Let range parts cool before handling. We recommend
rubber gloves be worn when cleaning..
2, Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven
at 400°F (204°C). Close the door and turn OVEN
TEMP knob to 400°F (204°C).. Time for at least four
hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before
improvement in appearance is apparent..
Remember; During the operation of the oven, the
door and other range surfaces will get hot enough
to cause burns, Do not touch, Let the range cool
before replacing the oven shelves,
4. If a spiltover 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..
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
The oven bottom comes out for cleaning away from the
continuous cleaning oven.,
The inside of the oven door has a porcelain enamel
finish. The oven door lifts off for cleaning away from the
continuous cleaning oven.. For instructions on how to
clean the inside of the oven door refer to the Lift_Off
Oven Door section.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaners, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot, clog and damage
the porous surface and reduce its ability to work°
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife or
spatula--they could permanently damage the finish.
