Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven clean-
ers 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.
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 located at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. 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, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive
pad or oven cleaner following oven cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
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 (alumi-
num foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
