Special Care of Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior:
Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have
read this section.
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while
cooking. The oven interior is finished with

steel wool
commercial
oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or
brushes.
Use such cleansers and/or the use oven sprays

The special coating is a porous ceramic material,
which is dark in color

touch. magnified, the surface would

peaks, valleys and sub-surface “tunnels.” This rough
finish tends to prevent
spatters from forming

that require hand cleaning. Instead. when spatter hits
the porous finish, it is dispersed

somewhat less noticeable.
Soil may not disappear completely and some time
after extended usage, stains

be removed.
The special coating works best on small amounts
of spatter. does not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures. The oven

coating
can be removed and cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
This special coating is not used on the oven shelves
or on the inside of the oven door. Remove these to
clean with a commercial oven cleaner to prevent
damaging the Continuous-Cleaning Oven coating.
Make sure the oven bottom is in place before you
turn the oven on for any reason.
Use care in removing and replacing the oven bottom
and shelves and in placing and removing dishes and
food to avoid scratching, rubbing or otherwise
damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.
To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:
1.
range parts cool before handling. We
recommend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware, including the
broiler pan and rack.
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the
oven at
Close the door and set temperature
control to
Time for at least 4 hours.
Repeated cycles may be necessary before
improvement in appearance is apparent.
Remember: During the operation of the oven, the
door, window and other range surfaces will get hot
enough to cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range
cool before replacing the oven shelves.
4. If a
or heavy soiling occurs on the porous
surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as
much of the soil as possible using a small amount
of water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use water
sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as
clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with
paper towels, cloths or sponges. Do not rub or
scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges, since
they
leave unsightly lint on the oven finish.
If water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries,
apply water again and blot it with a clean sponge,
starting at the edge of the ring and working toward
the center.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
The oven bottom comes out for cleaning away from
the Continuous-Cleaning Oven.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot, clog and damage
the porous surface and reduce its ability to work.
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife
or spatula— they could permanently damage
the finish.
