Oven Cleaning (continued)
Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models)
Continuous cleaning ovens have a special coating which is a porous ceramic
material.This rough coating tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little
beads which run down the side walls leaving streaks that require hand cleaning.
Instead, when spatter hits the porous coating, it disperses and is partially absorbed.
This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, making it less
noticeable.
Soil may not disappear completely. Remaining soil will gradually fade with continued
oven use. The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. Larger spills,
or spills generating from sugar, egg and dairy mixtures, do not clean as well.
If difficult soils occur:
1. Remove the oven racks and cookware.
2. Remove soils by completing steps a or b below:
a) Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a nylon-bristly brush or a nylon
mesh scouring pad. DO NOT rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or
sponges. They will leave lint on the oven coating.
b) Apply ammonia with a sponge and dab it into the porous coating. Leave the
ammonia on the soiled area for 30 minutes.
3. Rinse with clear water.
4. Close the oven door and push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to
450°F (230°C).
5. Operate oven for 15 minutes.
6. Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom is not a continuous cleaning finish. Oven cleaners can be
used on the oven bottom only. Remove the oven bottom before using oven
cleaners. DO NOT get oven cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.
Note: To remove or replace oven bottom, see "To Remove and Replace Oven
Bottom" under General Cleaning.
To clean, use hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad
or oven cleaner (on the oven bottom only) following manufacturer's instructions.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the
range manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR
CLEANINGS LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
DO NOT use oven
cleaners, gritty cleansers, coarse abrasive
pads or brushes, silicone sprays or metal
scrapers on the interior walls, oven frame
or ceiling of a continuous cleaning oven.
Permanent damage to the oven may
result.
