Standard Oven Cleaning
The Standard Oven has to be hand cleaned. Use warm soapy water and steel
wool pads and a commercial oven cleaner. See “Cleaning Chart” below for
further instructions.
Do not allow commercial oven cleaner to contact the heating elements,
thermostat, oven seal or exterior surfaces of the range. Damage will
occur.
Using Foil
To catch sugar or starch spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of
heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack, slightly larger
than the cooking container.
NOTE: Do not use foil or foil liner to cover the oven floor. Poor baking results
could occur.
