With proper care, the porcelain

retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy

may require cleaning with a
mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be
used. 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. They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan
and leave in a
oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
●
Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.
●
Do not
oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches (on some models) because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
●
Do not
a film from the cleaner to remain on
the temperature sensing bulb—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb as a change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
●
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
