Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven.
Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below and continued
on page 40. Your oven features a Self-Clean cycle for the oven interior.
See page 41 for complete instructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL
WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS,
OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE
YOUR OVEN.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing
firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be
peeled off. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with
hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid
cleaner designed for this material when soapy water will not do the job.
If build-up occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, or abrasive cloths, cleaners,
or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel surface to remove
encrusted material, soak area with hot, wet towels to loosen the material,
then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal
knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel surfaces.
Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled
steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS
OR RACK SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
Meat Probe
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled
scouring pad. Cool the probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots
with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
• DO NOT immerse the meat probe in water.
• DO NOT store the probe in the oven.
