CLEANING TIPS FOR RANGE OVEN
Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel and it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
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 dirt 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 necessary, use
an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions.
DO NOT mix ammonia with other
cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the
small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well
using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray cleaner 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 on the left interior wall 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 gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles
or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
Cleaning the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom is porcelain enamel and can be removed for easier cleaning. Clean using
hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions.
