Follow these cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS
LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
DO NOT
line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other
part of the appliance 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).
Oven Cleaning
Porcelain Enamel Oven and Broiler Drawer
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, saukerkraut, 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
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 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
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 gasket, broiler drawer
glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted
surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
The oven bottom in porcelain enamel oven models can be removed for
cleaning.
See "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under
General Cleaning
.
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive
pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.
