The Continuous-Cleaning Lower Oven
Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain-enamel. Your continu-
ous-cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher porcelain-enamel.
A fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher
surface. The bead of fat chars and turns black. The spread-out fat gradually
burns away at medium to high baklng temperatures (350”-475”F, 176”-231°C)
so the oven can return to a presentably clean condition.

spills from pies and casseroles. It must be used properly. Cut foil from a roll of
heavy-dutyl8-inch (45 cm] aluminum foil, or buy a foil kit (Part No. 241430)
