REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS
LATER.
Porcelain Enamel Oven
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1.
Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with
the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.
2.
If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If nec-
essary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT
mix ammonia with other cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1.
DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2.
DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing
bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the top
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how
the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3.
DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or seal, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can dam-
age these surfaces.
AVOID SPILLOVERS from pies and casseroles by using the next larger size casserole
dish or a cookie sheet placed on an oven rack below the cake or pie. Do not overfill
cake or pie pans.
Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
Oven Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the oven.
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).
